TRÓCAIRE Just a reminder that the Trócaire Collection is due to be sent away. If anyone has any boxes or envelopes for same they might return them by next weekend. Thank you. RELIGIOUS EDUCATION It is an absolute disgrace to even attempt to remove religious education from the National School Curriculum. What Oliver Cromwell failed to achieve in his heinous acts, by way of, having Catholics hanged, drawn and quartered. The heroism of our forefathers who refused to bow to his reign of terror. Is it possible that those who sought places of honour at our recent commemoration of the 1916 rising have the audacity to allow our schools to become a haunt for every type of heathen? Stand up for the Faith of our forefathers, the enemy within is the most dangerous! DEATH The death of William (Billy) McDonnell, Dooncaha, Tarbert, Co.
