Columban Fr Liam Carey is originally from the Westmeath and his Grandfather was Argentinian. He worked in Brazil as a Columban missionary priest before journeying onto Peru.

Columban Fr Liam Carey finds a motorcycle to be a godsend when working on the urban fringe of Lima, Peru.The roar of engines, a plume of dust, a mean machine slicing through the desert sands....It all sounds like a scene from the 70s cult classic \\u201cEasy Rider\\u201d but in fact it is Columban Missionary Fr Liam Carey speeding to his next Mass in the parish of Jicamarca on the eastern edge of Lima, Peru.
