For faraway friends who may be interested in belated results of the
second round of the 6-Nations rugby results last weekend they were –
Ireland 38 Italy 9, France 22 Scotland 13, Wales 23 England 15.
There is a break this coming weekend and Ireland play England the
following weekend. Ireland is scheduled to play against Wales, the pre
favourites for the series, in their final game.

Michael Reddy, Shannonbridge was an M.P. in Westminster from about 1901 to 1918.
A friend gave me some websites that are used to find information on
MP's since 1803.
http://hansard.millbanksystems.com this appears to be the general
home address of where you can look up what any MP said since 1803.
http://hansard.millbanksystems.com/constituencies/kings-county-birr
This shows that he appears to have been elected on October 1st 1901
http://hansard.millbanksystems.com/people/mr-michael-reddy this gives
the year's from1901 to 1918 and all speeches/questions he made in the
House of Commons. Just click on each year and it brings you to all the
issues Michael Reddy spoke about in that year.

On Monday in Saint Michael's Church in Ballinasloe the funeral Mass
for Colman Hernon was celebrated. Prior to the Mass the congregation
were entertained to some Irish music on the accordion. His wife Nancy
was unable to be present but Father Mc Inerney the celebrant asked the
congregation on two occasions to pause and remember Nancy in our
prayers.
The priest told that Colman was a Connemara man with a love for horses
and he was interested in sport particularly boxing. So at the
presentation of memorial gifts a statue of a horse, a horse-shoe, a
picture and boxing gloves were brought to the altar by Colman's
grandchildren. The accordion player played some suitable music at this
time. Somebody told me that Colman and Nancy's son Joe and his wife
Una are both deaf and dumb. So a signer was on the altar to translate
everything that was said.
At the end of Mass and during the removal of the coffin down the aisle
the accordionist played a lively air that would entice one to dance.
So I suspect that Colman was fond of Irish music and dancing. He was a
founder member of the Ballinasloe Boxing Club and Colman boxed for
Ireland. May he rest in peace.

Today I heard that Frank Dawson has been appointed County Manager in
Roscommon and is due to take up that position from next week. He has a
great interest in historic things and has a great interest in old
railways. Wishing him well with his appointment
