In 1922, my grandfather, James O’Sullivan, a captain in the fight for Ireland’s independence, emigrated from Ireland to the United States via Canada one year after the partition of Ireland and simultaneously with the death of his associate Michael Collins. He traveled west, laying Canadian rails, cowboy ranched in Montana, then hitchhiked to Manhattan’s Upper West Side where he opened the popular O’Sullivan’s Chophouse in a neighborhood of Irish bars and stayed for 35 years. Shortly after he established himself in New York, his wife-to-be also emigrated from Ireland.
When he passed away and the gravediggers began unearthing his plot they found several coffins already down there because he saw to it that a few of his impoverished customers were respectfully interred.

Rail industry leaders continue to dominate the civil service top-earners rankings, according to the latest transparency data on the highest-paid officials on the government payroll.
Mark Thurston, chief executive of High Speed 2 Ltd – the Department for Transport company tasked with delivering the next-generation London-to-Birmingham rail line, topped the Cabinet Office’s 2020 high-earners list with his salary, bracketed at £620,000-£624,999.
