Another few Pictures of Terry's Party

In reply to Frank McEnroe

In reply to Frank McEnroe,

"Any old vidios of The McEnroe Family playing Irish Music, I am sure someone will have one"

I have a very very small clip of them in this larger video, there in the background' not playing at that point, Claire I think is in the audience. Its part of the Fr. Aiden Video shot by Seamus Murphy and Raymond Dunne. I'd love to put up the entire video online as there are alot of faces in it people would remember, but am waiting for youtube to extend that 10min limit.

Terry Leddy's Retirement Event Hotel Kilmore

Great night and a large turn out for the very much respected, now retired Master Terry Leddy.

Rain, Rain, Rain

A few showers today but overall it didn't rain too much, not sure if the flood went down much if any. Believe there is more on the way over the coming days. Went for a stroll up the Mulligans/Mundy's Hill today and took a few snaps. Got caught in one almightly downpour, more like sidepour, it was coming at me at 180degrees.  My umbrella took a hell of a beating. Also am sorry to see there has been some flooding in Mary Tierney's House across from Boylans, and pumping equipment is working round the clock.

Current Water Levels

Pooch on the Loose

 

Happy ending, pooch is re-united, see comments

Pooch found outside Paddy Foynes shop, no collar does anyone in the village know who it belongs too.

He's very friendly and playful and doesnt look hungry,

 Tina from the ISPCA said she would take him in to her house in BallyHaise, till either we found who he belongs to or till he can be re-homed.

Thanks to Emma Connolly for the information and Jenny McGovern for rescuing this little chap from streets of Butlersbridge.
