The Stone of Destiny.

Jack was working as a Consultant for a firm who were planning the route for the Gas Pipeline in North County Dublin when a new and startling dimension to his gift made itself known. On site, near the ruined Grace Dieu Monastery one evening he found himself in what he had thought was a field of grain stubble, that was suddenly a real experience of open graves and skeletal remains. A great fear overcame him as he experienced the terror and the shouts and the gore and the hatred that was still somehow part of the atmosphere of what was later revealed as the massacre site of the monastery inhabitants.
These hidden sites across the Irish Countryside were to call to him over the next years as the Celtic Tiger - Building - Boom Projects got under way and often were inevitable halted by the discovery of an ancient wall or settlement that required excavation before completion of the project. Developers were finding it prudent and cheaper to have Jack survey the site prior to purchase. Those that could be developed quickly were selected and the others requiring excavation were either ignored or in the case of the more civic minded developers were first handed over to the Irish Museum boffins for clearance. The police also called on him to find the graves of missing or murdered persons often with spectacular success. The newspapers called him “The Psychic Nose” or the man with “the man with the X-Ray Eyes”. At fifty years of age Jack retired to a modest house near the site of his first “bony encounter” in North County Dublin.
Then the Imbol reached out for she who was awaited.There the story of the Yellow Collins Clan, descendants of the Sidheog Fairies of Rathmore, the Fairy Fort, and their psychic gene would have rested if his daughter Maeve on her twentieth birthday had not asked “Dad what age were you when you first heard the Stone of Destiny sing?”
