Best Quote by Genevieve O'Reilly

“All of my dad's family, his brothers and sisters, my nana and grandad and all of the cousins emigrated to Australia within two years of each other. Irish families are close at the best of times, but when you move to the other side of the world, we were like a big posse over there.” quote by Genevieve O'Reilly
