The Cuckoo
Following my inclusion last week of an extract by John B. Keane about the cuckoo, many people have told me that they never saw a cuckoo and wondered what he looked like.
Wonder no more.

Remembering Fr. Pat with song and candles
On May 11 2017 we gathered on the beach in Ballybunion to support one another in our grief and loss for a larger than life priest, Fr. Pat Moore.
Christine Kennelly got this good picture from the cliff.
Karen Trench sang The Boys of Barr na Sráide, one of Fr. Pat's favourites.
Listen to it HERE
We held our candles and thought of the man who would so loved to have been there.
His former parishioners, all of whom remembered him with great fondness came from all corners of the county and farther afield.
Trish and Donie were helping to organise the ceremony. They had both offered Fr. Pat much comfort and healing during his illness.

This is a photo from Photos of Dublin on Facebook. I got a few of the names wrong when I posted it before.
Máire Logue tells me that beside Jerry Ryan is Jimmy Greally at the back and the lady I didn't know in front beside Fab Vinnie is Flo McSweeney

As we looked to our right, there was the hard working Mario paying his own tribute in the way he does best, a piece of sand art.
