That was a great time. Saw the best of us and our people.
Was that the biggest international event Ireland has ever hosted?
Boxing was Mandela’s sport. There were no photos of him during his prison years. The most common photos were him as a thick-set boxer before he was arrested. We were surprised at the slim gentleman who emerged from the prison gate.
This is fantastic. I was 12 I wasn’t paying attention. But this is beautiful.

I love how short the news story was from RTÉ when the story dropped. Like, it was just another day in Dublin.
