John Moriarty

Hey all

This isn't like me but I feel compelled to tell you about this man from Killarney. He's a living saint IMHO. He is someone I came across recently and I would love to make a film with him on his life and beliefs. He has written a number of books which I have not yet read and i think the last one has been described as one of the best Irish novels ever.

He's virtually unknown except to his loyal few who have raised 10000 euro to help him fight triple cancer. He is 68. Today I heard him speak. I'm no holy Joe but he touched me with his faith and joy of life. Fuck, he counts Tommy Tiernan as a devotee and personal friend. Intrigue and mystery surround this man...I hope you live to be a hundred.

A breath of fresh air in this new Ireland we inhabit.

Evening all

Pat
