Michael Sheils is a member of both The Meath Writers' Circle and the Navan Creative Writers' Group and this here is a poem that was taken down from a number of sites or at least a number of times. But I'll let him tell you the story. Also posted on his own site (Link to the right-Sheriff from Navan). Myself I find it extraordinary with people living out of soup kitchens provided by religious groups and others, the hospitals with clampers preying on the infirm and elderly, not to mention those who are not feeling the best, and waiting times designed to finish you off, they manage to stay so so quiet. And that's just a few of the gripes. A hundred years on it's a whole new game folks and rank has its privileges.

Sean Reilly sings of Dan O' Hara
Looking through some of the videos on the "Sheriff from Navan" site I came across this one of Sean Reilly singing of Dan O' Hara, who was forced to emigrate to the States in the eighteen hundreds when his rent was increased. The more it changes you might say! Sean is a member of both The Meath Writers' Circle and the Small Impact Writers Group in Navan and if you click on this on youtube you'll see he's notched up more then three thousand hits. Way to go! I think this was recorded at the launch of the calendar by the Small Impact Writers Group for 2012. Link to "Sheriff from Navan" over to the right where there are a number of other videos worth a look including Sean's contribution in the Swift "Battle of the Books".
