CCDA: Roads and Traffic: Public Meeting – Village Footpaths

"Suaimhneas"

January-June, 2005

I wish to offer my sincere thanks to all who have made a contribution to the "Suaimhneas" fund in the past six months.

It is, however, extremely disappointing that 283 households have not made any contribution whatsoever.

In my opinion, it is unreasonable to expect the same, genuine people to have to always foot the bill for facilities available to the whole community.

– E. Dermody

Study Theology from Home

We are offering a full programme of theology through distance-learning, supported by a network of centres around the country.

Sympathy

As a community, we offer sincere sympathy to the following on their recent bereavements:

• Anita Hawkins, Dunkellin, on the death of her husband, Fintan
• Séamus Francis, Moyvilla, on the death of his sister, Sheila
• Louis Hanly, Stradbally North, on the death of his sister, Maureen, Surrey
• Cissie Connolly, Clarinbridge, on the death of her brother, Paddy Carr, Dublin.

Death is not extinguishing the light, but putting out the lamp because the dawn has come.
