  • Commandant Morgan Sparrow, No 3 Ops Wing, Irish Air Corps

    Commandant Morgan Sparrow, serving helicopter pilot with No 3 Ops Wing passed away this morning following an accident during a cycle race that he was participating in. I knew Morgan for many years both personally and professionally and his loss is felt very deeply, as I know it will be felt by all who knew him. A true professional in the sky and on the ground is with us no more.

    RIP Morgan. Take care.

        "Fellow-soldiers of the Irish Republican Army, I have just received a communication from Commandant Pearse calling on us to surrender and you will agree with me that this is the hardest task we have been called upon to perform during this eventful week, but we came into this fight for Irish Independence in obedience to the commands of our higher officers and now in obedience to their wishes we must surrender. I know you would, like myself, prefer to be with our comrades who have already fallen in the fight - we, too, should rather die in this glorious struggle than submit to the enemy." Volunteer Captain Patrick Holahan to 58 of his men at North Brunswick Street, the last group of the Four Courts Garrison to surrender, Sunday 30 April 1916.

          'He died who loved to live,' they'll say,
          'Unselfishly so we might have today!'
          Like hell! He fought because he had to fight;
          He died that's all. It was his unlucky night.

                              I went into an Italian restaurant and ordered dessert and they gave me tiramisu and a blindfolded horse and I said No, I said mask a pony (mascarpone)
