Name: Snow Dance Rehearsal Track by Seán Doherty in Not hot
Duration: 3 min 30 s
Description: Just found a rehearsal track I made for singers to practice my 'Snow Dance for the Dead'. I choose mad instruments for each voice part so they could hear the rhythms more clearly and it sounds like it's been covered by the coolest indie band of 2009.

Thomas Devin Reilly (1823-1854) was a journalist born in Monaghan and trained at Trinity College, Dublin. As a member of the Young Irelanders, a political and social movement for Irish nationalism, he was involved in the failed Famine Rebellion of 1848. He was forced to flee to Fermanagh, and then eventually sought refuge in the United States, from which he never returned. The text of this piece is taken from the letter Reilly wrote to his friend John Kelly, shortly after his exile began. In the letter, he expresses his home-sickness, his solitude and disillusionment in the ‘land of liberty’, and also reflects on the dangers of emigration.

I have selected text from the letter relating to three of Reilly’s experiences: his reflection on his experience in America, his account of the turbulent storms encountered on his voyage, and finally his nostalgic reminiscence of the day he left. These are tied together by his refrain ‘Dear John’. By using this phrase, the piece plays slightly on the idea of a ‘Dear John’ letter; a correspondence where an intimate relationship is severed (in this case by necessity rather than infidelity). The connection broken here however is not between lovers, but between a man and his home-country: the Ireland Reilly longs for. The eloquent description Reilly writes of his migrant experience is powerful, poignant, and resonates with the experiences of many in our world today.

A Slave in the Land of Liberty - SSAATTBB Choir, C4 Ensemble NYC Premiere

Fine Gael TD Maria Bailey spoke to Today with Sean O'Rourke on RTÉ Radio 1 in an exclusive interview and said her family has endured a distressing, intrusive and abusive week as a result of documents leaked last Sunday.

 

She said that she was unable to go home for three days last week, that she could not drop her children to school and has had to come off social media.

 

Humanity, she said, has been crossed.

 

Maria Bailey said details of her case were leaked to cause maximum damage in the week before an election.

 

However, she added, an election is not won or lost in the last week and she did not believe her case had a negative effect on the elections.

 

The TD said that she was 'drawing a line' on the issue today, adding that she had learnt a lot about people and herself.

 

She said she was 'never looking for compensation' but wanted to recoup her medical bills.

 

She told Today with Sean O'Rourke that she is the subject of click bait and the story only gained traction because she 'handed them a fantastic headline.'

 

Maria Bailey said she was not a legal person but she took legal advice on the issue and was told she had a ' clear cut case.'

 

She criticised Michael McDowell and Michael Martin for commenting on the case saying ' they should know better.' 

 

She said that the incident happened long before she was a TD.

 

On the night in question she said she had had a glass of wine in her friends house before going to the hotel where they purchased one drink each.

 

Maria Bailey said she purchased one drink, which was not consumed, before going with her friends to see the swings.

 

She explained that she sat on the swing - which had a highly polished wooden seat - while holding a bottle of beer and reaching for her friend's bottle of wine when she slipped to the ground.

 

She said she went to A and E the following morning and attended intensive physio for the next three weeks.

 

She said she regretted that she ran a 10km run a number of weeks after the incident because she ' paid the price for it that night' but, like any athlete, she wanted to dip her toe into the water and see if she was capable of doing it.

 

She added that she never denied that she had run the race and had put it on her social media.

 

Maria Bailey said the hotel was helpful at all times and agreed to pay her medical bills.
