Attended a day of talks held by the SocDems at my old alma mater. Quite informative and useful. It was a chance to reconnect with the 17 year old clerical student I once was. Spent almost 3 years in the seminary and it was a blessed relief to be in such a nurturing environment after a very difficult childhood characterised by the worse of the Irish psyche and, sometimes the best. ![]()

My life journey has been one of seeking respite & healing from a past of bullying and abuse and being in seminary listening to Leonard Cohen on my record player was the perfect way to nurse a lot of angst & pain. Ironically my return to Irish life came with an assault once more of intimidation and bullying which tapped into a hidden past and played an important role in freeing me as it hurled the past uninhibitedly to the surface. A cure from a bit of the poison that ailed me. A cure that was empowered by the chance encounter of someone who touched me very deeply and showed me the possibilities for love in this life. Both events happened synchronistically so that today I am not the man I once was. I am very grateful for the good that has emerged out of evil. The darkness begets the light.![]()

It seems I bring out the worst in a section of our community probably because I refuse to be other than who I am. Someone who sees bullshit for what it is and believes in human dignity and social justice. Unfortunately, I probably come across as somewhat filled with disdain which doesn't help. It's the way I am made. This country made me what I am and now I have come back to haunt it for its sins - so it seems.![]()

Reflecting on the changes from my time in seminary I have the sense that many important questions have been addressed and answered and my belief system has gone from a religiously organised faith to a personal inner belief system built on experience. I have always believed that the inner child should be healed and protected as that is the essence of who we are. ![]()

The photos document the buildings I lived and studied in along with the grounds I walked, on a daily basis, with others as I reflected on Liberation Theology in South America and whether or not being in a seminary could entice god to heal me. Unfortunately not, but it did mark the beginning of a life journey that took me around the world and culminated with a return to where it all began. It was a privilege to study here and I find it interesting the chemistry department has been rehoused and replaced by the music department. I may even apply!![]()

I stayed in Rhetoric building as a first year student on the 3rd floor. A few doors down from me was a famous room which had been converted to a small oratory with the front wall removed. It was said that several students had committed suicide in that room and you could see a blood stain on the floor apparently of one poor individual. A decision had been made to not use it as a student room any further. It was part of folk lore and quite famous apparently.

I urge you to sign this petition calling for an inquiry into the hundreds of incidents of harassment and intimidation taking place towards myself of which the Gardai are not interested in investigating.![]()
![]()
It is a step towards leading us to a fair and just society where all men and woman can hold their head high without fear of intimidation or harassment because they speak out against corruption.![]()
![]()
It will ask the government to investigate why An Garda Siochana, despite overwhelming evidence of ongoing harassment and intimidation, have failed to carry out the simplest of investigations that would reveal what is happening. ![]()
![]()
The inquiry should also look at the relationship between organised crime and An Garda Siochana in the county Louth area, the potential for the tampering of elections and the tacit support given by the political class to the status quo. ![]()
![]()
I urge you to sign this petition and share it with your friends on Facebook so that we can begin a transformation of Irish society.![]()

The Agony & The Ecstasy - a song by Albert Byrne ![]()
![]()
After several years of constant interference with my music software and computer equipment, I finally produced my first self-produced song which expresses how I feel in this moment of my life. Due to the constant interference in the making of this song, out of sheer annoyance, I have put aside my personal reservations and decided to make the song public. The song is a victory of positivity over negativity that came about because of an extraordinary experience I had some time back.![]()

The words of this song express that experience.![]()
