One week after James Horan’s appointment as Mayo senior manager, I think it is fair to say that his appointment, and that of his back room team, has been warmly received by Mayo supporters. The immediate objection from some quarters might be that he is without senior inter county experience. In the current situation in which we find ourselves, I doubt that the GAA public in Mayo regard inexperience as an insurmountable issue after the summer we have just had. Horan will bring a fresh approach to proceedings, something that is needed right now. The players will trust and respect him. The younger players will remember his terrific talents on the field and will be looking forward to new training methods and a new mantra. I hear that no member of the new management team has travelled with the footballers to New York for this Sunday’s FBD final. I think that is a smart move. This weekend’s match in the Big Apple can best be described as a fun game with nothing of any significance at stake. A number of players playing out there this weekend will not be part of the new squad, and with a type of party atmosphere circulating about the place, it is best that a new manager meets his panel of players in a different environment.

The Delorentos have just being confirmed to play Bar Ritz in Castlebar as part of the popular Finbar Hoban Presents series this summer. Dublin-four-piece Delorentos released their debut UK album, You Can Make Sound, on April 5 this year (preceded by the single ‘S.E.C.R.E.T’ in March). They very nearly didn’t make it: Having scored early, chart-topping Irish success, the band suffered the collapse of Pinnacle, hit a creative wall, and saw singer Ronan walk out. The remaining members – school friends who bonded in spite of the disparity of their taste in music - decided to plough on, until Ronan suddenly returned, after a period of reconsideration and reflection. And with that Delorentos were back on track!

It is a fact that when few people had a job in Galway the late Christopher (Christy) Dooley of Renmore Park, had many. They were all of an amazing variety. One of them was a factory on the Mervue Industrial estate where he made parts for German railway engines. He had a specialised scrap business in Munster Avenue, the site of the old family forge, where he recycled aeroplane parts and exported them to Spain.
