In today's episode, I had the pleasure to interview both Pat English (Achill, Co. Mayo) and Pat Kelly (Craughwell, Co. Galway) about their time moving to Abu Dhabi in 1992 & 1993.
I was lucky to be coached by both Pat English and Pat Kelly when I played for the ladies football team, Abu Dhabi Na Fianna. They both played a huge role in creating such a welcoming community for the Irish in Abu Dhabi, especially for our ladies teams.
Both of them share how they decided to move out to Abu Dhabi in the 90s, what life was like here, how the GAA community started and some wise words about moving home to Ireland.
I thoroughly enjoyed this episode and thank them both for giving me their time to interview them. I hope you enjoy it just as much when you listen.
