Eily’s Report – 24th April

Dia is mhuire diobh go leir a cairde and welcome to my weekly Report.

This is the Day, this is The Day that I’ve reached my 90th birthday. It was a long haul by any standards but also with a long list of reasons to be thankful. My eldest brother, Denis,(RIP) always told me that on that fateful day April 24th in 1933, at evening time he was told to go down to town (on foot) and tell Bridgy Reardon to come up. Bridgy Reardon lived in with Maggie Long and her son Jerome who had a  shop in lower Pound Hill. It had a fire place at the off end and the counter and shop at the other of the same room. There was always a nice fire burning in the grate and people would sit there and talk to Maggie while she got their purchase for them. Sometimes on our way home from school, we’d drop in if they’d asked us at home to bring something. A loaf of bread or a box of matches or so. Bridgy could often be there resting by the fire as we came and went. Middle aged, comfortable looking . My brother had no idea why he was to tell her to come to our house for but just did as he was told. She went on foot with her bag at least I never her saw her having a bike like other nurses as I can recall. Anyway it seems that I arrived at sundown on that day 90 years ago.  I want to continue thanking all the kind people who are sending well wishes and I want to wish the popular Joanne O’Riordan a very Happy Birthday today, also Johnnie Mc Avoy who share this day with me.

“Seán Moylan – Irish Revolutionary” at Glen Theatre on Saturday 29th April

When Actor/Writer Supreme, Michael Patric O’Sullivan performed to a capacity audience at the Cultúrlann in Newmarket a few short weeks ago the absolutely magnificent and wonderfully creative production of “Seán Moylan – Irish Revolutionary” everyone hoped that the brilliant presentation would go on tour far and wide to give so many more people the privilege to witness such an unforgettable Theatrical Experience.  Thus among the upcoming venues are Banteer’s Glen Theatre on Saturday, 29th April 2023 and later at Kiskeam Community Centre on Friday, 5th May.  We share three of the official images and also a link to some of the very positive newspaper reviews.   We very much encourage attendance at this remarkable presentation and extend sincere congratulations to Michael Patric and his dedicated Team on this truly amazing Theatrical Presentation.  Tap on the images to enlarge.  (S.R.)
