Heard that the Mass for the dead and the bereaved in Ard Chiarain last night went off very well with a very good attendance.Those attending were asked to write the names of the people they wished remembered on a journal and somebody wrote the name of the mother who was killed in a car crash last week and her young daughter that survived. Father O'Hanlon celebrated.
Good news from the Library that there was a good turnout last night with a few more new members joining up. Another box of books donated by Shannonbridge Pottery.
The Shannonbridge GAA website attached are making an effort to add photographs and more news to their site and if you can help contact Conor Killeen.
Kate's website at last count has 167 photographs in minature form which open up with a click.
Kerrill Thornhill is available to help you set up your webpage on the Shannonbridge.net site.
It would be good to have more facilities come alive and stay alive.
Hope that Louise Killeen will tell us all about the Clonmel National Song Contest 2004 which was held in the White Memorial Theatre in Clonmel last night. Only heard that she won the competition with Mike Thornhill and Colin Killeen playing alongside. Tipperary Crystal presented a lovely vase to the winners to go with the thousand Euros. Check for her comments on her weblink under Entertainment but give her a bit of time. Well done Lou & Crew.
Bought a copy of John Grenham's book on Moore last evening and in the first two pages there is mention of lots of battles in Clonburren, Shannonbridge and Moore or Moytura as it was called when it was linked to Creagh. Also mentioned was the destruction of the wooden bridge at Clonmacnois and Brian Boru and his brother and the Danes and the Clonburren Motte and... that was in the first couple of pages.
