DAMMIT who do I not meet in the Preacher’s Bar at the Temple Gate but Pudsy Ryan’s brother! That was one of the defining moments of my month so far.  
If you are of the generation that remembers when the Temple Gate was a big Mercy Convent at the heart of Ennis then you would be overjoyed to meet Pudsy Ryan’s brother too. If you are younger than that, you may need to be informed that Pudsy Ryan in his heyday was more widely read and enjoyed than Maeve Binchy is today. He occupied the most popular page of The Far East, the missionary magazine of the Columban Fathers and we all loved him because he kudnt spell or rite and wuz always in trubble with the nunz at skool.
