On Friday night in the village hall a very enjoyable Christmas Party was held for the Senior folk with a hot meal and a present for everyone and some good music for the night. Well done to everybody for all the work and organization and fundraising.
Few new babies arrived last week. Clare Kennedy had a baby girl Alex in Ballinasloe on Wednesday and returned home on Saturday. Claire is a daughter of Joe and the late Sally Kennedy.
Mike Aine and Neal Robertson collected Aimee in Saint Peterbourg and arrived home to Limerick at the weekend where she has settled in already. Congratulations to both mothers.
There were a couple of local deaths at the weekend including Eileen Cahill, a sister of Brian Cahill's Belmont and Elizabeth Wynne mother of Donal Wynne who is employed with BNM. May the Lord have Mercy on their Souls.
Missed yesterday's Parish Bulletin but I know that there is prayer / meditation in Ard Chiarain on Thursday night at 8 pm. There is an ecumenical carol singing arranged for Clonmacnois on next Sunday.
Padraig Harrington added another second medal to his collection in Hong Kong yesterday.
Weather today - breezy at first with outbreaks of rain extending eastwards across the country. Clearance following from the west, with winds moderating. Highest temperatures 10 to 13 C or 50 to 55 F. but turning cooler later. Tonight will be dry and cold in most areas with frost and fog and a risk of icy patches. Cloud and rain may linger with temperatures +2 to -2 C.
