James Joseph makes emotional visit home to his native place

James Joseph Costello, formerly of Henry Street, Roscommon Town, recently enjoyed his first visit home to Roscommon in six years.

He has lived in London since 1960 and hadn't been home in six years due to Covid.

James Joseph was a talented GAA player in his day and lined out for the Primrose and Blue.

A proud Rossie, James Joseph, who is almost 84 years old, never goes outside the door without his Roscommon tie on.

He recently travelled home with his daughter Amanda and grandchildren Grace and Charley McInerney and thoroughly enjoyed reuniting with family and old friends.

James Joseph, family and friends have tables booked at the Roscommon London dinner and dance, which is being held on October 24th in the Clayton hotel, Chiswick in London.
