residence new to the market with RE/MAX

This week, Cathal Meares of RE/MAX Team Earley is proud to present to the market a fantastic opportunity to acquire a detached, four-roomed property in need of renovation and modernisation.

Located in an ideal location, this property boasts immense potential and is sure to appeal to those seeking a property with plenty of scope for improvement.

With a BER rating of G, this property is set on approximately 0.75 of an acre, and is ideally located just a short five-minute drive from the charming villages of Ballymoe and Glinsk. The surrounding area is steeped in natural beauty and boasts breathtaking scenery, making it an ideal location for those seeking peace and tranquillity.

In addition to its idyllic location, this property benefits from being just

Team Earley

a short walking distance from the Smalghrean River, which dissects the counties of Roscommon and Galway respectively. This proximity to the river will undoubtedly appeal to those who enjoy fishing or water-based activities.

The property is in need of modernisation and renovation, but with some work, it has the potential to be transformed into a stunning family home. This is an ideal opportunity for those who want to put their own stamp on a property and create a home that is uniquely theirs. It also benefits from storage sheds to rear.

One additional benefit in purchasing this property is that it is eligible for the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant, subject to terms and conditions, which could provide between €30,000 and €50,000 towards the cost of renovating the property.

This is an excellent opportunity for those looking to renovate a property and receive some financial assistance in doing so.

Overall, this represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a property with fantastic potential in an idyllic location. We invite offers and viewings from all interested parties and would be delighted to show you around this charming property.

The location and potential of this property makes this a very attractive opportunity to come to market. The auctioneer highly recommends viewing of this ready-to-go property.

Workers in northwest have lowest access to flexitime

People working in Connacht and Ulster are less likely than their counterparts in Leinster and Munster to have access to flexitime policy at work, according to the latest Reflecting Ireland research from Permanent TSB.

Just over a third (35 per cent) of workers in the northwest provinces have a degree of control over when they start and finish their workday compared to 56 per cent of those in Dublin, 52 per cent in the rest of Leinster and 50 per cent of those in Munster.

The findings are part of Permanent TSB’s look at the changing lives of people in Ireland since the pandemic. Nationally, the research found there has been an increase in the number of people with a more positive view of the economy over recent months. The research was undertaken by Core Research in March 2023 amongst 1,000 adults.

Company insolvencies increase by 70%

The number of company insolvencies increased by 70 per cent year-on-year in the first three months of 2023, part of a trend seen across key sectors, according to the latest figures from credit risk analyst CRIFVision-Net.

The data for January, February and March suggest that inflationary pressures have added further concern for businesses, with a rise in insolvencies in ten counties.

Economic bellweather sectors such as hospitality (767 per cent), manufacturing (375 per cent), retail (167 per cent), computers (125 per cent), construction (117 per cent) and leasing (67 per cent) all recorded significant increases in this avenue of closure for businesses.

Insolvencies are up in 12 out of the 16 sectors analysed, with only legal, accounting and business, real estate, electricity, gas and water supply and mining decreasing compared with 2022.

Kildare, Wicklow, Mayo, Meath, Sligo and Clare recorded the highest year-on-year increase for insolvencies in Q1.

You always had a smile to share, a laugh, a joke and time to care, A wonderful nature warm and true, those are the memories we have of you.

Always remembered by your wife, sons, daughter, daughter-in-law, son-in-law and grandchildren.

Anniversary Mass on Friday, 14th of April in St. Patrick’s Church, Athleague at 7pm.

On this, the First Anniversary of Bridie’s unexpected and untimely passing, we, the White family, would like to sincerely thank all those who have supported us in the past year. We were greatly touched by the thoughtful visits, conversations, Mass cards, floral tributes, condolences, advice and words of encouragement offered by relatives, neighbours, colleagues and friends. All of you brought some comfort to us in our time of grief.

We wish to acknowledge everyone who visited our home and who attended Bridie’s Removal, Funeral Mass and Burial. We were deeply touched by the many mourners who travelled long distances and thank you for your understanding, given the Covid 19 restrictions still evident this time last year.

To our wonderful neighbours who prepared our mother’s final resting place, thank you. Thank you also to Fr. Francis Beirne for his help, support and kind and consoling words during the Funeral Mass. To Ms. Bernie Moran, church singer, thank you for adding to the Liturgy with your beautiful music and hymns. We wish to thank Michael Dempsey, Funeral Director for his guidance and professional service.

To the community who prepared refreshments in Dysart Community Centre after the service, we thank you all.

Since our Mum died, we have been encouraged and empowered by the level of kindness, support and neighbourly spirit shown to all of us, her children and grandchildren. It may be a brief conversation, a fond memory shared or a casual cup of tea coupled with sage advice. These moments have been invaluable to our continued life journey without our parents.

We wish to acknowledge our mother Bridie for the hard working, warm, loving mother and grandmother that she was. She enriched our lives and celebrated our every achievement with great pride. We miss her spirit, her smile and her wonderful friendship. She was a beloved wife, mother, mother-in-law and grandmother. We thank God for her presence in our lives.

It is impossible to thank everyone individually, so please accept this acknowledgement as an expression of our thanks and appreciation. The Holy sacrifice of the Mass will be offered for your intentions.

Those we love don’t go away, they walk beside us every day, unseen, unheard, but always near, still loved, still missed and forever dear.

Bridie’s First Anniversary Mass will be celebrated in St. Patrick’s Church, Dysart on Saturday, April 15th at 7.30pm.

Our dear martyr and protector, Saint Expedite, you who know what is necessary and what is urgently needed. I beg you to intercede before the Holy Trinity, that by your grace my request will be granted. (Clearly express what you want and ask him to find a way to get it to you.) May I receive your blessings and favours. In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, Amen. If Saint Expedite grants your request, place fresh flowers beside his statue in your home or in the church. Also place an ad in the newspaper thanking Saint Expedite, so that his name and fame will grow. M.C.

SHEERIN Michael

Tulsk, Co. Roscommon May 7th 1979 – April 18th 2022

The Sheerin family wish to thank most sincerely all those who offered support following the untimely death of our beloved Michael at University Hospital Galway on April 18th 2022.

Thanks to the Medical Teams In Helsinki and Galway who attended to Michael during his illness before and after Christmas 2021.

A special thanks to those who took time out to be in attendance at the funeral. There were so many messages of sympathy from friends and acquaintances who highlighted how deeply touched they were by Michael’s kindness throughout his short life. Thanks to those who supplied refreshments and catered for those who called to our home during those very difficult days. We are also greatly indebted to our relatives, wonderful neighbours and friends who spent time with us in the presence of Michael during his final hours at the family home.

Thanks to Fr. John Gannon for his support to us as a family and for ensuring that the Requiem Mass and Burial Ceremony were a fitting tribute to Michael. Thanks to the Tulsk Choir and the other participants who enhanced the ceremony so well.

Thanks to Tulsk GAA Club for organising a Guard of Honour. Our gratitude also to An Garda Siochána and local volunteers for assisting with traffic management. Thanks also to those who attended the Month’s Mind Mass, some of whom were unable to be present during the funeral. Their kindness too is very much appreciated by the family.

Our heartfelt thanks to Eugene and Cynthia O’Connor for their professionalism in carrying out the undertaking duties. Their kindness and consideration at all times were much appreciated.

Finally a special thanks to the numerous volunteers who helped with the tasteful preparation of Michael’s final resting place in the local cemetery.

Michael is now at peace. We love him and miss him dearly. We are blessed to still have in our presence a legacy of his artistic genius. His adored niece Sadhbh and nephew Teddy will no doubt be able to reciprocate in time the love he had for them.

It is worth noting also the great comfort that Michael experienced from his interactions with the family pet, Ralph, whom he adored.

As it is impossible to thank everyone individually, please accept this acknowledgement as an expression of our gratitude for the support we received since Michael’s passing. The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass will be offered for your intentions.

Michael’s First Anniversary Mass will take place on Sunday, April 23rd 2023 at 11.30am in St’s Eithne & Fidelma Church, Tulsk.

We Miss You

Sometimes when we first awake, we think that you’re still here, and for a fleeting moment the clouds all disappear. For you brought endless sunshine, until you went away and now we miss you desperately each minute of the day. You would not like to see us sad, so what we try to do, is live a bright and happy life in memory of you. For though we always miss you and it’s dreadful being apart, we haven’t really lost you, you’re still here in our hearts.

Loved and sadly missed by your wife Helen, children Claire, Sean, Niamh and Jack. Masses offered.

HARRINGTON

Patrick (Paddy)

Who passed away on the 17th April, 2015.

(8th Anniversary)

Just a prayer from the family who loved you just a memory fond and true, in our hearts you will live forever, because we thought the world of you. Those we love don’t go away, they walk beside us every day, unseen, unheard, but always near, still loved, still missed and very dear.

Deeply loved and missed by Eileen, Colette, Peter, Neil, Fergal, Martina and their extended family. Masses offered.

I love you very much and always did, those special memories of you will always bring a smile. If only I could have you back for just a little while, then we could sit and talk again just like we used to do. You always meant so very much and always will do too. The fact that you’re no longer here will always cause me pain but you’re forever in my heart until we meet again. When the nights are cold and the stars are few, I close my eyes and think of you. A silent hope, a silent tear, a silent wish that you were here. It’s been a long 12 years without you my darling you have been a good husband and father, I love you so much.

From your loving wife Bridie, son James, daughter-in-law Joanne and grandchildren.

Anniversary Mass on Friday, 21st April in the Sacred Heart Church, Roscommon at 11am.

I want to be with you and my loved ones in your perpetual glory. Amen. You must say the prayer for 3 days consecutively without saying your wish. You will receive your wish after the 3rd day. Though how difficult it is. A promise to publish the prayer after your favour is granted. H.B.

often spoken, our thoughts are with you still, you haven’t been forgotten what’s more you never will. We cannot stop the hands of time or live again the past, but we will love and pray for you as long as life will last. Time may hide the sadness like a smile can hide a tear, but memories last forever of the one we loved so dear. May the winds of Heaven blow softly and whisper in your ear, how much we love and miss you as time unfolds another year.

Remembered with love and prayers always by your sister Margaret, family and friends.

Anniversary Mass in St. Patrick’s Church, Dysart on Saturday, 22nd April at 7.30pm.

Sadly missed and fondly remembered by his wife Kathleen and family.

Anniversary Mass in the Church of the Holy Rosary, Ballyleague on Sunday, April 16th at 11am.

On the First Anniversary of his passing, we the family of Michael Anthony wish to acknowledge the many expressions of sympathy and gestures of kindness shown to us following the great loss of our beloved husband and father, adored grandpa, treasured brother and uncle.

We wish to offer our heartfelt thanks to the many friends, neighbours and well-wishers who visited our home during his Repose and to all who attended Michael Anthony’s Funeral Mass and Burial.

Thank you to everyone who brought food to our home.

Thank you to our relatives, friends, and work colleagues, some who travelled long distances to be with us.

Thank you to Garda Pat Regan for traffic management during Michael Anthony’s Repose and Funeral. Thank you to all those who sent floral tributes, cards, phone calls and messages.

We are very grateful for all your support during this very difficult time.

Special thanks to Michael Anthony’s three wonderful carers, Anna, Pat and Anne, who took excellent care of him (and us), always with kindness, warmth and humour allowing him to remain at home, as was his lifetime wish. We will be forever indebted to you. Sincere thanks also to the doctors, nurses and reception staff at Ballygar Health Centre for their excellent care and kindness and to the staff of The Medical Hall, Ballygar for their care.

To David Moran, Funeral Director, for his professionalism in handling the arrangements and to the gravediggers who prepared Michael Anthony’s final resting place so beautifully. To Signature Flowers, Roscommon for the wonderful floral arrangements for our home, the church and Michael Anthony’s grave.

Thank you most sincerely to Fr. Michael Breslin for celebrating Michael Anthony’s life during Mass and to all who contributed, especially Ursula, Tomás and Bernie for the beautiful traditional Irish church music and singing.

Thank you to John and Noleen Fallon and their efficient staff who provided a wonderful meal and refreshments.

To those who helped in any way, your contribution made our loss more bearable.
