Paschal Gannon I grew up on a small farm in the West of Ireland. I spent most of my life working within many facets of the Construction industry both abroad and in Ireland. My passion is divided between people and writing. I love hearing the language that our visitors use as they share their individual life stories. I am always amazed at the synchronicities that occur as they gather ‘le céile’ (together) from all corners of the world, into this magical place. As the wisdom within one of the old Irish sayings goes, ‘Giorraíonn beirt bóthar’ (Two people shorten the road). The Glendalough Sanctuary offers the perfect setting for this to take place. I look forward to welcoming you to our little Sanctuary.
