Jimmy Shiels spent three six months trips overseas when a member of the Irish Army. He served in South Lebanon, Rwanda and Sierra at a time when these countries were immersed in war and bodies lay strewn on the ground as if they were wildlife.
Did it frighten the man born in Ralish Abbeyleix? He says no. At the time it was regarded as a day’s work. After he retired Jimmy founded a school of motoring named after his towns land which he describes as the most beautiful place any one could live and the neighbours “simply the best.”
