What the Papers Said...

Bloomsday 1990 "...Last Saturday a Bloomsday celebration took place in Bowling Green and I was happy to be invited and happy to accept. The attendance was large, representative and well organised.

... There were some really good readings especially from a long lost friend Nora Fanning. There too was Ms. Vivien Igoe launching her book "James Joyce's Dublin Houses and Nora Barnacle's Galway". Angela Lupton made a delightfully witty introductory speech to which Ms Igoe replied with commendable brevity - there were no drinks during speeches.

... For the second year in succession this celebration has been sponsored by Murphy's Irish Stout. It was smooth and creamy and reminded me of my first pint of Murphy's in Cork years ago. A solicitor friend of mine recommending it said 'Tis good, boy. Anything else makes a mill-race of your guts'. There too I was pleased to meet the children of my long-time friend Mary O'Toole of Dominick Street, Robert and Olga.

As they say in Cricklewood: "The Craic was mighty!..."
