Campaigning Journalist | Literary Dissident
This book does exactly what it says on its brightly designed cover.
The 1970s was the decade wherein I was a teenage Celtic supporter in Glasgow.
The book brought back memories of the great Celtic players I watched and the terrible clothes that I was proud to wear!
EXCLUSIVE.
By Phil Mac Giolla Bhain.
Members of Show Racism the Red Card were taken to task by a tetchy Celtic chief executive Peter Lawwell at New Douglas Park after the match between Hamilton Accies and Celtic on Sunday 25th October.
The tricky thing about racism is that when you allow and approve one type of racist thought you tend to get more than you originally authorised.
The alleged racist abuse suffered by Rangers player Maurice Edu should not come as a surprise to anyone with any knowledge of the Ibrox sub-culture.
This timely book explores the appalling death toll of young Irishmen over a twenty-year period.
Campaigning journalist Phil Mac Giolla Bhain travelled the length and breadth of the island of Ireland hearing the stories of heart broken families who have been devastated by suicide.
Phil also spoke to experts in the field who, despite years of research, cannot answer why the suicide rate among our young men is so high.
Finally, Phil develops an analysis why this is a killer of men and not women in modern Ireland and what can be done to neutralise this “tolerated serial killer”.
All of my adult life I have taken decisions that I affirmed my Irish nationality. I’ve only ever held an Irish passport, I’m and Irish speaker and I live in Ireland.

You get the idea.
Recently I re-affirmed my wish to live in a country called “Ireland”.  Unfortunately many of fellow Irish citizens decided that they wanted to live in a country called “Europe.”
