COMMUNITY COUNCIL
A public meeting of the local Community Council will take place at the Seven

know the findings of planners O’Leary and Associates following recent surveys.
Recent meetings between Limerick Co. Co. and the community council will be
reported on and further views sought on the wishes of the community in regard

Thursday, November 11 at 8.00 pm. This is in aid of the school building fund
and tickets are available at €15 from members of the Board of Management, the
Parents Association or the school office.
KENRY HISTORICAL SOCIETY
Members of the local history society and friends were entertained to another
of Br. John Feheney’s well-researched and interesting talks on Wednesday,
November 27. As usual Br. John elicits a large following for his talks and the
content of the above talk will largely appear in print later on. His subject was
the religious orders and the followers they attracted from our local area as
well as the somewhat different approach that the reformed churches employed
in gathering clerics to their ranks. Sean Cotter, Secretary of the Society,
introduced the speaker and thanked him for his spellbinding talk, which
interested his hearers who would have known many of the local families who
gave members towards the apostolate at home or abroad. The next talk to be
hosted by the Kenry Historical Society will be of a different nature even though
it involves a cleric of the Protestant church. He unfortunately came to a grisly
end in Ballynacarriga at the hands of some locals. Much mystery surrounds
this affair and Noreen Curtis who has done a study of the event will present her
findings at a date to be fixed towards the end of the month.
REUNION PARTY CANCELLED
Teresa Mulqueen of Ashgrove is sorry to announce the cancellation of her

21 at 3.00 pm in St. Mary’s Church, following which a plaque will be unveiled

rented rooms with Elizabeth O’Shaughnessy in September 1940.
