Did we ever think we'd see the day……..?
Cisco lorry outside St. Mary's which is now a building site.
Weekday masses for Listowel's Roman Catholic faithful are now said in the old Church of Ireland St. John's church. Local people are enjoying the irony. Once upon a time local children believed that if they set foot inside this building they would be turned into goats.
A friend of mine told me that her mother, who was a Catholic, had to receive a dispensation in order to attend weddings and funerals of her husband's family in this church. He was a member of The Church of Ireland.
Changed times indeed!

Shop Windows during Writers' Week
Walking through Listowel's streets during Writers' Week is like a literary odyssey. Shops and businesses enter into the spirit of things with book related displays.
