The conversation begins with Kieran fondly remembering his parents and their decision to send him from home in West Belfast to boarding school at St Michael's College Omeath. The year was 1969 and the Troubles were looming. He and Martin also pay tribute to their much missed friend Paddy Herron, whom Kieran first met at St Patrick's College Armagh. Eventually Kieran became a podiatrist and settled in Dungannon. One of his more memorable patients was Martin's mother. 
A natural raconteur, Kieran tells his story with great candour, humour and insight.
