Cormac MacConnell: Jackie Healy-Rae would’ve been proud of his fine sons

Dear Jackie Healy-Rae,

As your sons were being hoisted sky-high in your direction after their remarkable triumph there was a young man with a glic face on him who raised his eyes heavenwards and shouted “Up the Kingdom”.

I would swear that young man was saying a fervent thanks to you for your intervention in the battle.
