Last week Gary was asked to pray for the opening of the new Bank of Ireland here in Ballincollig. He was to be joined by Father George the Catholic Priest and Reverend Ruth the Church of Ireland(Anglican) minister. But Father George was a no show. Reverend Ruth was a riot. She was like the minister in the show Vicar of Dibley. Part of Ruth's prayer was if people show up with guns that the guns jam and not go off. Gary was not sure what it all meant because there is possibly some superstition attatched to this but it says in the Bible to pray about everything so Gary did it in that spirit. It was also a wonderful chance to connect with the big wigs of Ballincollig and some people of the community. These pics are of the new bank that Gary is standing infront of and across the street is the old bank that was in the rows with all the old buildings. It was the white one. The other pic is of more new construction. All the new construction is on one side of the street and they are tearing down a wall that is hundreds of years old to do it. Gary is leaning on a piece of that wall. They are keeping pieces of it here and there.
