Ireland: From Local Conversations to National Radio
11/14/2026
Dear Friends,
I cannot thank you enough for your prayers and support during my recent trip to Ireland.
Over the course of the week, Liam and I travelled many miles, from Milltown, County Kerry, to Fermoy in County Cork, then on to Youghal before returning to Kilkenny. It was a wonderful opportunity to catch up with old friends in each location, all of whom organised gatherings where many people were deeply impacted by the story.
One such person was Ralph Riegel, author and reporter with the Irish Independent. He came to interview me but ended up staying for the entire evening. Two days later, he published an article about the story. This was soon followed by a request from Sean Moncrieff for an interview on Newstalk National Radio, providing another opportunity to share the message with a wider audience.
