Every now and then I get the opportunity to spread my creative writing wings, but this event is an absolute first for me.

After spending a wonderful few days over Christmas in London with my daughter Fiona Creedon, I find myself pondering over some undesirable events that happened. I love London with its endless cultural richness with every nationality in the world roaming freely; the vastness of the city with over 9.5 million people; the ‘busy buzz’ […]

I was recently interviewed for The Kerryman on Justice Minister Helen McEntee’s proposed Sale Of Alcohol Bill. My stance is in line with AAI’s urge for scrutiny. One of my biggest concerns was the lack of risk assessment on the unintended consequences for public health and social issues. Should pubs and nightclubs extend their opening […]
A new study from UCC and Alcohol Action Ireland has found that the majority of mental health professionals receive no training on problem alcohol use in the home.
