The Pilgrims of Lough Derg (6)

"I live in Ballybofey, but I'm originally a Tyrone man — you could call me a sort of a traveller. I have a shop in Donegal Town.

It's my third time here. The first time was when I was 16. Hadn't been back until my 53rd birthday. And now I'm back again.

It's a tough place to come, but you take so much out of it. It's good for the mind — time to relax, no phones. To me, it's the most special place I've ever been.
​
People travel all over the world for pilgrimages, and there's one right here on their doorstep. I think everyone should come here to St. Patrick's Purgatory at least once."
