DM: When I was growing up it would in latter years would always be Blackpool, Dublin Hill looking down on the city. A sense of my own place there like you know what I mean walking through it but I have to say since I’ve been involved in the Cork Foyer Project in the Assumption, sit down there, have your cup of coffee, look down over Blackpool, rained like last winter, last Christmas there when the snow, sit down enjoy inside in the glass house looking out, Jesus ‘twas a piece of heaven, you know what I mean that would be, I’d have to say that scene is good enough for me at the moment anyway.
