Many of you will know that I buried my son; Jason "Jay" Sexton last week in Leixlip, Co. Kildare. We received hundreds of words of suppport and sympathy, but I was unable to bring myself to respond to the many friends and relatives prior to now. I just want you all to know that your reaching out was of great comfort and a genuine reflection of the high regard in which Jay was held. I especially wish to thank the members of the Confey Darts Team for their beautiful wreath and magnificent guard of honour as we accompanied Jay on his final journey to his funeral mass. You did him proud, lads.

I am sorry to announce that my son Jason "Jay" Sexton left this world on Monday morning after fighting an epic battle with the dreaded cancer. The huge number of people offering their condolences is testimony to the fact that he was a very special and much loved person and it was a high honour to have been his father. It is said that "time heals all wounds." It is very difficult to imagine any amount of time which will need to pass for this to apply to Jay's passing. Rest easy my lovely boy, we will never forget you.

I am sorry for the incovenience for those who were trying to get their hands on a copy of my new book; "Adventures of an Irishman in New York." (Amazon showed it being "unavailable.") It sounds "very Irish" of me to be saying it makes a great and handy Christmas present, whilst at the same time Amazon shows it being unavailable! There is good news, however - I got it sorted over the past 24 hours and you can now place your orders!

Magnificent coastal view of my home County

DÚN BHALOIR | BALOR’S FORT | THE ANVIL, TORY ISLAND, CO DONEGAL

From its craggy cliffs to its wind-beaten shores, Ireland has long exuded an aura of mystery and magic. Its culture and traditions have been forged from a unique mixture of warrior ballads, clan sagas, fairy tales, and bardic narratives. A magnificent combination of myth, legend, and historic fact embroiders the very fabric of Irish culture.

Tory Island is one of the few places left in Ireland where the myths and legends of the Irish people are still held close. It is an island drenched by the sea, drenched by the elements, and drenched with history and folklore. Nemedian settlers from Scythia in modern-day Turkey are believed to have been the first people to occupy Tory. The Formorians, a tribe of sea pirates from Cartage, invaded Tory and removed the Nemedians. Conan, the conquering Formorian king, built a tower, Túr Ri (tower of the king) giving Tory its name.
