Saturday evening and Mickie Mac was not at Mass. On enquiry friends and neighbours agreed that they had not seen him for a few days.There was no answer to doorknocks and so the Gardai were called and they forced entry to find Michael Mc Evoy's body dead in bed.The body was removed by the undertaker to the Tullamore hospital and it looks like the removal will be tomorrow evening with burial in Clonmacnois on Wednesday.
His last words to me last week were "I'm soaked all over" and well he might as he had danced as only Mickie Mac danced for hours to the Two Johnnies who make up The Shamrock group.Please say a prayer for his soul and may he rest in peace in Clonmacnois.
