I first came to Manchester in 1944 to work on the docks. The docks, at that time, employed over 3000 men and well over half this figure were Irish, young men from every corner of Ireland, indeed several of the superintendents and foremen were Irish born or of Irish decent.–Pat Sweeney

I remember that these events were either opened by the McSweeney or Kerry Pipe bands.– one of many memories
