Hi, Patty! Thanks for dropping by. I have written you privately with what I hope is some good contact info for Mr. Byrne. I think your cause is certainly worthy! Good luck and Happy Holidays!

As a committee member of the Cape Cod St. Patrick’s Parade we would like to obtain a contact number/email address. The theme of our parade this year is “Celebrating the Arts of Ireland”. We may be small but we are mighty! Last year an estimated 60,000 lined the streets of Dennis and Yarmouth to cheer the participants. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, TwoMoons. I think you are right. As he says in the interview, technology can allow everyone to be in the same room at the same time. That’s why we love the Internet!

Hey Folks:

I think this is exactly the kind of thing Gabriel is talking about doing with all things Irish Arts in America……

He sold his house in Brooklyn? When? Where did you hear this?

Thank you, Stella and the gang, for another gem of an article. Loved the interview with Charlie Bird: just to listen to someone who thinks in books and speaks in paragraphs…I’m wiffy. Also nice to hear Mr. Cowen give Gabriel a shoutout (at 19:44) at the White House assembly.

of course I respect Kevin Boyle’s opinion, but he sounds to me just an angry man. I don’t think Gabe’s appointement is really relevant in a anti-capitalist/anarchist debate.
seriously, Ireland has been selling its cultural identity for ages…

it seems to me that Gabriel just does what other celebrity activists do today, which is : use the system. Politicians love the glamour of Hollywood, and they have the power. so this just gave some official legitimity to what Gabriel has been doing for years. it shines a light on his cause, shows how serious is the action and the will to tighten the links between US and Ireland which will probably help finding money to finance projects.
and I do think Gabriel is the right choice to protect “those outside”.

I agree with twomoons, he sounds real happy and confident with this new announcement.
And of course he is the right man for the job!

My only concern is that how in the world is he going to have any time left for acting?! According to the web he is all over the place!
He must live his life in a suitcase…maybe thats why he has sold his house in Brooklyn…

But I am really proud of our MAN
