Many years ago, I built a dance hall in my head. And from then until now, I’ve stepped into that hall almost every day. I’ve swept its floors and listened to the wind rattle its old tin roof. I’ve watched the band warm up as people came through the door — familiar faces of our community, young and old, some long gone. I’ve watched them dance, and I’ve danced long into the night with them. I’ve danced with you there. I’ve even danced with Jimmy Gralton.

I’ve seen Fr. Cosgrove scowling from the porch, and the guards bursting in to silence the music — only for it to rise again as soon as their backs were turned. I’ve heard stories of devilment in the hall and on the roads home late at night. Stories of sisters and aunts sending dresses home from the States, and of using soap to squeeze feet into shoes two sizes too small. Or of the lads who’d put the tiniest dab of petrol on their shirt collars, so that when they waltzed a girl around the floor, she’d catch the scent and think he owned a car.

I’ve laughed and cried with young women in that hall. I’ve held hands there that I’ll never hold in the real world. I’ve seen friendships and romances take root and grow, watched some of them leave for other lands. I’ve welcomed people from other lands through the door — people who have made our community all the better by being here.

I’ve watched my grandfather and his brother play the fiddle with the band, and my grandmother with her nine children dancing around the floor to their music. My own children holding their hands, dancing with them. I’ve stood in the doorway while the band played inside, and watched the music drift out across our hills.

And I’ve filled that hall with the most incredible musicians and dancers — young and old, my family and friends — the very best of company.

Someday, I will build that old tin dance hall with my community, in a small field in Leitrim. And you will all be invited in to dance.

But for now, I’m throwing the doors wide open to this dance hall in my head.

Step inside. Tar isteach! Dance!
