I was shocked to hear on Monday of the unexpected death of Ann Reidy, nee O’Connor. I had said hello to her in Glin last Friday. One never knows what is around the corner for us. Sincere sympathies to her husband Paddy and her family and extended relatives.

The Abha Bhan Players were delighted with a full house in Ballybunion on last Saturday night. The large audience enjoyed the antics of the Buds. On behalf of all the players I wish to thank our director Eleanor McSweeney for putting up with us through giddiness and forgetfulness and exuberance through the months of rehearsals. We can breathe easy now for a while and enjoy Athea and Abbeyfeale as they stage their productions.

I want to wish a Happy and Healthy Retirement to Pius Collins who has been our local vet since the late seventies. He was always very kind and dependable. Time to sit back and relax now Pius.
