Fallon's Town Talk: Dolly Parton’s legacy extended beyond her musical renown - Opinion - Roscommon Herald (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A rapper with the wonderful name of Jelly Roll came up with the most pithy and telling comment following the death of Dolly Parton. Delivering a monologue on US television on the night of her death, Jelly Roll described Dolly Parton as “the last American that everyone liked”. In a notoriously divided country, Dolly had popularity ratings that were the envy of any politician. She steered clear of politics yet was made to make political gestures with a sincerity and moral authority that didn’t ali
Fallon's Town Talk: The rituals of late summer provide reassurance and joy - Opinion - Roscommon Herald (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The rituals of late summer are upon us with two of those occasions taking place on the Athlone Road in Roscommon Town last Saturday. The Roscommon Agricultural Show attracted the customary large crowds to Hannon’s Field. The volume of cars parked on the side of the road was a throwback to the Connacht final. The weather played its part, it was pleasant without reaching the high temperatures of last Thursday. Along with the usual array of competitions and display stands, much of the conversation
Fallon's Town Talk: Ladies’ victory sparks debate about theme song - Opinion - Roscommon Herald (opens the original)
Read excerpt
After the final whistle went in the All-Ireland senior camogie final last Sunday, the familiar strains of ‘The Banks of My Own Lovely Lee’ wafted across Croke Park. ‘The Banks’ marked a comeback for the traditional songs that were a staple of big match days in Croke Park in the 20th century and early years of the 21st.

Fallon's Town Talk: Scorching July takes its place in pantheon of sweltering summers - Opinion - Roscommon Herald (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A strange substance fell from the sky last Sunday. It turned out to be a rare phenomenon called rain. The sweltering July weather had been fading for the last week anyway but it was still a jolt to have sustained rainfall. Given the wildfires raging in France, Spain and elsewhere throughout Europe, we won’t be complaining about rain arriving…not for a while anyway. While the month just gone narrowly missed out on matching the longest-lasting heatwave in Irish history, it was a scorcher. In fairn
Fallon's Town Talk: Kevin Keegan’s Roscommon roots are unearthed - Opinion - Roscommon Herald (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For a generation of sports fans of a certain age, the death of Kevin Keegan evoked a mixture of sadness and wistful nostalgia that catapulted them back to their childhood. Full disclosure here: Kevin Keegan was my first soccer hero. Long after the age when one should admit to such things, he remains one of my favourite-ever players. I was guided towards supporting Liverpool by my uncle Michael but Keegan was the reason I became a fully-fledged fan. He was skilful, brave and boundlessly energetic
