Columbanus … of Carlow

The late Cardinal O Fiaich was an internationally renowned scholar and his book ‘Columbanus, In His Own Words’ makes the claim that Columbanus was born on the Carlow Wexford border.

We need to claim him!

I know the PP of Myshall and Tommy Murphy, PRO of Carlow County Board are both researching possible links too.

Here are images of the book

Save the Barrow Track

I really should be posting here more often. Good therapy. Nothing as therapeutic though as cycling along the Barrow Track, whether that is around Carlow Town or in the South of the County. I will put up a video of a grand little cycle I did yesterday on the Bank Holiday Monday. It shows the Barrow Track is already suitable for biking and doesn’t need to be transformed into a bike super highway..
