Dedication

This work is dedicated to my wife Catherine, daughter Cassidy and my late Grandfather Jack who is sorely missed...

I would also like to thank Sean Geoghegan. Though we have yet to meet face to face, Sean has become a good friend over the last few years. He has provided me with encouragement and been a voice of reason when I needed it the most. Thankyou Sean...
