COMHBHRÓN
It was with sadness that the death on October 12th 2009 of Mr John Kett, Kilbreedy, Kildimo was received in the community. He is deeply regretted by his sisters, extended family, friends and neighbours including his cousins Liam Fitzgerald, Ballinacarriga and John Moloney, The Old Road to whom condolences are extended. His funeral took place on Wednesday October 14 following Requiem Mass in St John the Baptist Church, Kilcornan to Kilcornan Cemetery.
May he rest in peace.
GRAVEYARD CLEANUP
In preparation for the public prayers and visits to Ardcanny Graveyard in Mellon, an extra effort of titivation is called for. On Saturday morning, October 24, a 10.30 start should see volunteers home for lunch afterwards. Should you have any interest in this ancient Kildimo parish church and graveyard, your presence would be appreciated. “Many hands…’
PRAYERS FOR THE DEAD
Fr. John will conduct prayers at all three graveyards in the joint parish on Sunday, November 1st. His tour of duty begins at Kildimo at 2.00, Ardcanny at 2.45 and Killurach at 3.30 pm.
The Annual Burial Ground maintenance collection takes place on this occasion and your generous support is always welcome.
CURRAGH CHASE COILLTE FOREST PARK
There was a good turnout of locals to meet the staff of Coillte when they had their public consultative open-day in Kilcornan Community Centre. While the local interest may be in the Curragh Chase public amenity, managers of the other Co. Limerick properties were on hand to outline their policies and practices in relation to the areas of forest under their care. There was a strong emphasis on the commercial value of tree planting and the help of a practical nature that is available to commercial growers.
KENRY HISTORICAL SOCIETY
Tony Brown of the famed Radio History Programme that was so popular in the past, is the guest speaker on Wednesday, October 21. His topic is ‘The Houses of Kenry’ and the illustrated talk begins at 8.00 pm. The venue as for all lectures of the Society, is in the Religious Room of Copswood College. You’ll find that through the new school entrance from the quad and then just follow the crowd! It’s free!
CARI CARES
The organiser of the Table Quiz and the Cari group wish to mark their gratitude on the recent fundraising effort on their behalf. Joe Gleeson has handed over in excess of €500 for the furtherance of their aims in supporting the child victims of abuse to the local centre. Outside of such events, any financial assistance would be gratefully received. In recent times there has been a 50% increase in demands for assistance and as each counselling session costs €50, the meagre 35% funding from government sources is quickly swallowed up. There are five therapists at the CARI centre on the Ennis Road, which gives some indication of the scale of the problem. Should you want to contact the service or offer help try 1890 924 567 or 061 582224.
WELCOME HOME PEGGY!
Peggy Gleeson has spent a period as guest of the local health service and has returned home much the better for her experience. With batteries charged, she will soon again be joining her friends on the Bingo Bus.
SENIORS
The Pallaskenry ‘Going Strong Club’ is back in action! Maturity of age is the only condition for enjoying their meetings in the Community Hall on Tuesdays from 2.00 pm to 4.00 pm.

Among the attendance of over five hundred members at the recent ICA Winter Conference in Gorey was May Galvin from Ballyrune .A comprehensive
Report is promised at the next guild meeting, which takes place on Wednesday Nov 4th at 8pm in the usual venue.
RECORD MAKER!
A lady from Ballynacarriga has surely created a record that will take some beating! Sister Alice Moore who was born in the old RIC Barracks strategically overlooking a wide area on the north side of Kildimo, has been a Salesian nun for 75 years! She was born in 1913 to a teaching father and not surprisingly she followed in his footsteps and dedicated her Salesian life to doing the same.
COMMUNITY LOTTO
In the weekly draw on October 13, numbers 7, 8, 17 & 24 were the winning combination for a Jackpot of €3,200. As no punter made the winning prediction, five ‘Lucky Dips’ were drawn for prizes of €20 each, which went to Ann O’Dea, Rose McKeogh, Phyl Fitzgerald, John Walsh and Mary Rogan.
