About this blog

This blog contains my newspaper articles and random thoughts, observations and bits of information.

I write a weekly column called That's Men for The Irish Times and most of the columns later appear on the blog.

When I began this blog, I worked as a journalist in Dublin but most of my work now is in teaching and writing about mindfulness.

I also write poetry and a collection of my poems, The Blue Guitar, is published by Salmon. I have a poetry blog called The Blue Guitar.

I am originally from a rural parish called Ladytown in County Kildare. I now live in Dublin with my wife and two children.
