Moira Mulkerrin

If you scroll down this article, you’ll see a photo of Maura Mulkern. Her name is actually Moira Mulkerrin, but that’s neither here nor there – Jonathan and I stayed with her when we were on Inis Meann. Cool to see her in the NYT – I wouldn’t have been sure she was still alive [...]
