Tea at the Mansion House
On Friday we had a nice time in the Mansion House with Dublin Lord Mayor Christy Burke!
I presented the great man a limited edition poster of my world run which has my route and all 41 countries run listed.
A long inscription because he deserve it!
” I ran the roads of the world always proud to be Irish, proud to be a Dub!
Thank you Lord Mayor Christy Burke for your great community and humanitarian work in Dublin, my city, capital of my country. I salute you, wish you could ‘ Keep On Running ‘
Best wishes Tony Mangan
Christy says he is a no nonsense politician who doesn’t hang out with the blazers. He pulls up his sleeves and gets stuck in rather than sipping pints at the Dail bar.
His legacy will be the fastracking of shelter and services for so many homeless people. He often patrols the city streets late at night providing food and a friendly ear for many addicts and other people down on their luck.
On a lighter note he says if he manages to get a statue to late Dubliner musician Luke Kelly erected he will be delighted.
While we waited Brian entertained us on the piano

Hey Tony—great photos of the family—Sounds like a very nice event!!!!—-Maybe the Lord Mayor saw me stumbling around Temple Bar when I was there, trying to find my way home from the Brazen Head after a couple of pints!!! hahaha—–Anyway, sounds like the kind of politician we wished they all were!!!
Great stuff—-and I didn’t know your brother played the piano!!! Lovely!!
