Well Done to Athea Drama group on their successful staging of The Anniversary. It was a good laugh which we all need from time to time. A very deserving tribute to Amina Parkes, one of the founder members was included in their programme, written by Tom O’Keeffe on behalf of all the members.

A large crowd attended the Senior Citizens party in the Hall in Ballyhahill last Sunday, This was the first after a two year break due to Covid. A lovely dinner was served including drinks, this was followed by music and dance. It was a great opportunity to meet up with parishioners we may not have met in a while. Thanks to the Mohernagh Wrenboys who organised the day.

Congratulations to Owen and Sandra O’Brien on the birth of their first baby, Bonnie, last Sunday. Owen is one of the younger members of the Abha Bhán Players. Of course this makes Norma Nolan, another member of the group, a Nana for the first time. So there is great excitement all round.

It is nice to see new neighbours moving into the area recently. I have no names but a welcome is extended to those who have moved into Ruddle’s house in Turraree, Barret’s in Knockdown and Liam Enright’s in Clounleharde.
