Two great servants of Listowel Emmets GAA Club holding the Sam Maguire in the Square in Listowel in 1979/80.......no greater honour than to see one of our own (Tim Kennelly aka 'The Horse') lead Kerry to the ultimate honours the previous September. You can see their pride beaming from their faces as these two great men saw him grow from a boy to a man ....from a young lad playing club football to a leader of the greatest inter county team in the country.

Ballybunion May 11 2017


As Mario worked away on his beach picture we gathered for songs, prayers and stories to remember Fr. Pat Moore



Fr. pat's great friend, Sonny Egan told stories and even sang Fr. Pat's song, Ballybunion town. A few short months ago Fr. Pat and himself had great fun giving us this as a kind of duet at the launch of Weathering A Storm

Ballybunion Town


Two of his loyal carers, Sr. Kathleen Quinlan and his cousin Debbie.


Donie, Mary and Trish were part of the organising team.






Sr. Kathleen read a poem he loved.

  1. "Like people like priest." (Proverbs.) was ever a quote more appropriate? Father Pat had all the spirituality, humour and talent of his own people.
