On a Wing and a Prayer
The Story of Knock Airport
Now on sale, the definitive book on the building of Knock
Airport, with all the inside details, featuring the
irrepressible Monsignor James Horan, the political intrigue
surrounding the project, the opposition and support an
international airport on a "foggy, boggy hill" engendered,
and the success - despite the predictions of nay sayer
politicians and economists - it turned out to be.
Told in a lively, entertaining manner, with some great
behind-the-scenes stories and enlivened by enduring
photographs, the book touches on many of the events of the
period. It deals with the early life of Monsignor Horan, his
days in Tooreen and his encounter with the dancehall devil,
the building up of Knock Shrine, the attracting of Pope John
Paul 11 to the Shrine in 1979, right through the building of
the Airport to the year 2006.
The author Terry Reilly covered the unfolding story as it
actually happened and knew all the central characters
involved.
