For those of you who know about Fatima:- I had the opportunity to meet Fr. Gruner on the Hill of Slane when he visited Ireland  and I asked him: "Father when will the chastisement begin, 2025 or 2029 when will the "100 years be up?" He considered for a moment then answered "2025."The Hill of Slane is  the location where St Patrick lit the first Pascal Fire in 433 AD in defiance of pagan King Laoighre, the King of Tara. The site later became an important monastery, similar to that at Monasterboice, which was founded by St Erc, and had its own high crosses and round tower.

In 1976 while Minister for Defence, Paddy Donegan called then Irish President Cearbhall O’Dalaigh “a thundering disgrace”. His remarks precipitated the most serious constitutional crisis in the history of the State which led to O’Dalaigh’s resignation within days. Though history will always associate Paddy with the controversy there was so much more to the man from Monasterboice. He was a dynamic individual who achieved so much personally, politically and in the world of business. In the course of the story of his life family, friends, political and business associates paint a picture of a man who gave so much of himself to making the lives of others, his community, constituency and country better. Far from a Thundering Disgrace is produced and presented by Gerry Kelly and is supported by the BAI Sound & Vision Fund. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
