Jim O Donoghue - Linking the god of the Sea Neptune, Slua Muiri and the American Navy to Basketball
Coincidence is amazing, even if it s hard to believe. This week I m inclined to credibility after Foreign Affairs, and Defence Minister Simon Coveney espoused the importance of the Naval Reserve when announcing the Government decision to establish a Commission to ensure that the Defence Forces are fit for purpose and then hearing that the same Reserve had used the god of the sea - Neptune - for a purpose never thought of in the maritime world – to please the American Navy and bring the game of basketball to Ireland!
