"Sunrise over Dublin may not sound very exciting to you, but to me it was heart-stopping. Raised from infancy on tales of the formidable Celtic gods, devotion to St Brigid and the nightmare of the Hunger, I have yearned to visit the home of my foremothers and stand on the ground that they walked on. Sadly, that will never happen now. So, to stand in the pre-dawn hush, to silently contemplate and to watch the sun rise up from the waters brought me to tears.  And this on St Patrick's Day!"
