Some of you may know and some of you may not that James Ryan's Great-Grandmother, Máirín Cregan was from Killorglin.
"Máirín Cregan (27 March 1891 – 9 November 1975) was an Irish nationalist who was involved in the 1916 Easter Rising and Irish War of Independence. She later made her name writing for children, as well as writing plays and novels for adults."

Good luck to the Irish team today especially to Killorglin man and team captain James Ryan!
