Today I had the privilage to be present to witness the re-opening of Ballyfermot Library. The much loved Library has been closed for the past four years and re-opened today as a 21st century super duper fantastic library.

I was delighted and humbled to see the lovely ''Joe O'Brien'' book stand right next to Mr. Colfer himself.

And to top it off, what a surprise when I noticed my name on the wall of Ballyfermot Personalities along with Joe Duffy, Mary Byrne, The Fury brothers and more.....

Congratulations to Una, Maread and all the wonderful librarians at Ballyfermot. You're amazing people. The heart of the community has been restored.
