Starting this year from the GLENEAGLE hotel @ 11am.
Have a look at last year’s event
Dan Carroll of Inchaleigh was a good fellow he lived all of his life around Millstreet
He enjoyed his pints of guinness in the Bush Bar as nice a person as one could wish to meet
He always worked hard for an honest living a member of a very well known clan
And those who knew him will never forget him since there was so much to like about the man.
He was the same Dan Carroll drunk or sober a gentle soul he would not harm a fly
And he is one whose soul is surely up there if there’s a heaven somewhere in the sky
I never heard him bad mouth anybody a gentleman in his own quiet way
No need to worry for his soul’s salvation for one like him there is no need to pray.
