I remember the first ICB meeting in that small room in the GPO. It was easter 1916. We took fire from the gunboat on the Liffey. Sean and I ran for Parnell street where we had to surrender to the macro troops.

I missed the first meeting because I was watching Munster beat the all blacks in Thomond park.

Was it not the day JFK was shot?

And tomorrow will be the 3rd anniversary of that tasting. It was the night before ICB went live. I remember n1mbus and I trying find Séan's gaff while listening to some band practice for the St. Patrick's Day Parade. That's also when we heard the Pope saying "Young people of Ireland, I love you". I'll never forget that.
