What is recorded here
Joe Costello is a birthplace in Geevagh, County Sligo, Ireland. Perhaps the boy ran barefoot through wet grass before he ever entered a parliament chamber. Maybe the rain there fell like a permission, washing childhood into something larger. Imagine him looking back once, not in pride but in recognition, as if the land had already named him.
