There is a yearly Mass in Cloniffeen this evening at 6.30 p.m. Last evening Jimmy Mooney was telling us about the new altar that has been erected there. Some years ago when turning the old church into a community hall a remains and tombstone were removed from in front of the altar and the dead priests remains interred in Clonmacnois. The tombstone has remined around and measures about 6 x 3 foot and almost a foot in depth. Curleys the monumental stonecutters from Ballydangan have turned this stone into an altar and have produced legs and a plaque to go with it. The field is beside the road leading to the Hot Water fishing stretch at the power plant and to the left of the gate leading to the fishing.
