A Night of Excellence and Empathy, ‘Strictly Dancing Dedication’ Supports Cancer Care in Clonmel The Talbot Hotel in Clonmel was the setting for an exceptionally well attended and elegantly executed evening of entertainment on Sunday last, as the “Strictly Dancing Dedication” event brought together members of the local community in support of a most worthy cause. The occasion combined high calibre performance with heartfelt purpose, resulting in a memorable night that underscored the enduring strength of community spirit in Clonmel.

Organised in aid of C.A.R.E. Cancer Support Centre, the event succeeded not only as a showcase of dance and entertainment but also as a vital fundraising initiative. Established in 2002, C.A.R.E. is a registered charitable organisation dedicated to providing professional, compassionate support to individuals affected by cancer, as well as their families and carers. Its services encompass emotional support, counselling, information provision, support groups, and a range of complementary therapies, including yoga, Tai Chi, and art classes.

The centre relies entirely on voluntary contributions, and the proceeds from this event will play a meaningful role in sustaining its invaluable work, alongside supporting the efforts of the South Tipp Hospice.

Proceedings on the evening were expertly compered by the widely respected and much admired MC, Ken Horne, whose warmth, wit, and positive relationship with the audience ensured a smooth and engaging programme throughout.

The standard of competition was excellent from the outset. The opening half featured performances from Donncha Doyle and Nykki Oakley who were sponsored by Camida & Healthwise Gym, Michael O’Brien and Suzanne Walsh sponsored by Derivan Sexton & Co Solicitors, Grace Murray and Kieran Hogan sponsored by Peak Technologies & Joseph Nolan & Co Solicitors, Mark Guidera and Brigid Burke sponsored by O Sullivan Hygiene & Lynch Solicitors, and Julianne Tobin with Ben Hahessy sponsored by Paul Tobin Butchers.

Each pairing demonstrated high quality dedication, delivering routines characterised by energy, precision, and evident enjoyment, which were met with massive applause from an appreciative audience.

Following the interval, the second half of the programme maintained, and indeed elevated, the evening’s momentum. Liam Stokes and Sarah O’Connor who were sponsored by Alison Cronin, were greeted with passionate support, receiving one of the most notable ovations of the night. Francis Lecias and Melissa McCarthy sponsored by EBS & Tom Pollard, ultimately secured the title of overall winners on Sunday evening, their performance distinguished by technical excellence and stage presence.

Further impressive contributions were made by Áine Hickey and Kevin Fennessy sponsored by Tommy Flanagan, Painting and Decorating Contractors, Rebecca McCarthy and Louis Doyle sponsored by Suirprint & Stepping Stones who had previously claimed victory on the Saturday

Collectively, the participants delivered a consistently high standard of performance, reflecting weeks of preparation and a genuine commitment to the cause.

Adjudication was undertaken by esteemed panels across the weekend. Saturday night’s judges included Rebecca Lenehan, Mark O’Meara, and former glitterball champion Grace Hogan, while Sunday evening’s panel comprised Clare Green, Elaine Hickey, and the renowned Tipperary hurling legend John Leahy. Their considered evaluations added both credibility and distinction to

the competition.

It is fitting to acknowledge the exceptional efforts of the organising committee, whose dedication ensured the event’s success.

Under the leadership of Event Manager Maria Glesson, Director and Choreographer Ruth Quinn, and Social Media Manager Stephanie Whyte, the production was executed with professionalism and attention to detail of the highest order. Their collective vision transformed the evening into far more than a dance showcase, it became a celebration of generosity, collaboration, and shared purpose.

The festivities continued beyond the formal programme, with DJ PJ providing music late into the evening, ensuring the

celebratory atmosphere continued.

In every respect, the “Strictly Dancing Dedication” event stands as a testament to what can be achieved when a community unites in support of those in need. The generosity of sponsors, the commitment of participants, and the enthusiasm of attendees combined to create an occasion of both significance and distinction.

Such events not only provide exceptional entertainment but also the bond the compassion and solidarity that define the Clonmel community. The organisers, participants, and supporters alike are to be warmly commended for their contribution to a cause of profound importance. Massive thank you must go out to team Strickly and all competitors, you all are amazing and beautiful people. This was a standing ovation for real, you took it to the next level lads. Bring on next year.

National Protest Walk in Clonmel to Poetry Corner Highlight Dangers of Sulky Running

By Conor Coleman

A peaceful national protest walk will take place in Clonmel on Saturday, 11th April at 3pm, organised by Cllr Micheál “Chicken” Brennan and Cllr Liam Browne in partnership with My Lovely Horse Rescue.

Participants will gather at Irishtown Car Park before proceeding through the town on a designated route.

The event aims to draw attention to the increasing dangers associated with sulky running on public roads. The organisers emphasise that the practice poses significant risks both to those involved in the activity and to other road users, while also raising serious concerns regarding animal welfare.

The councillors stress that this protest is intended to serve as a national demonstration, not merely a local event, and is designed to begin a comprehensive debate on the need for robust

national legislation regulating all aspects of sulky use in Ireland.

The walk will feature local and national speakers, with animal welfare organisations from across the country invited to attend.

Contributors will highlight issues including road safety, enforcement challenges, and the welfare of horses used in unregulated sulky activity.

Cllr Brennan said the event reflects growing public concern: “Communities across Ireland regularly witness the dangers of sulky running.

Horses are placed under extreme pressure on public roads, and the safety risks are increasing.

This march is a call for action.”

Cllr Browne added that national policy is urgently required: “We want to see proper legislation introduced, clear rules, strong protections for animals, and measures that keep all road users safe.

This is a nationwide issue, and it requires a nationwide response.”

The organisers invite individuals, families, community groups and animal welfare advocates to join the walk and support the call for meaningful, long term solutions.

We cannot continually rely on public outrage to drive change.

We cannot wait for another viral video or another tragedy. We need to implement bye-laws similar to our neighbours in Kilkenny County Council to ban all sulky activity on our public roads.

We need a co-ordinated animal welfare committee that brings together An Garda Siochana, Tipperary County Council, The Department of Agriculture, Food & Marine, NSPCA, ISPCA, Tusla, local animal welfare organisations, and community groups.

We need to treat animal welfare not as an overthought but as a core part of public safety, community wellbeing and responsible

governance because when horses suffer communities suffer. When enforcement is weak cruelty thrives and when we fail to act we send a message intentionally or not that this is acceptable. It is not acceptable - not now or in the future. Sulky racing is not cultural nor is it traditional. This Is not targeting cultural or traditional practices of the travelling community. It is a matter of road safety, animal welfare and public protection. No tradition justifies endangering lives or abuse to animals.

Thank you and Kind regards, Cllr. Michael Brennan & Cllr.

Liam Browne.

The Ember Fog envelopes the field of my mind I’m searching for clarity, light, direction in this Labyrinthian wild.

I try ignite so many flames within The mist devours them and wins Mud and knolls A wick remains, flickering against it all Burning for Life.

Cashel bids farewell to Paddy Hoare: A legacy of service and quiet decency

Cashel’s Neff Giwa attracts interest from top US College Football Programs — Despite never having played the sport

There was a profound sense of faith, gratitude, and community in Cashel this Good Friday as family, friends, and former colleagues gathered to bid a final farewell to Paddy Hoare. A man remembered as much for his quiet decency as for his lifelong dedication to others, Paddy’s passing has left a significant void in the heart of the town he served so faithfully.

Fittingly, the funeral service was grounded in themes of sacrifice and hope. The readings spoke of endurance, with the poignant words, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith,” resonating deeply with a congregation that knew those lines mirrored the very essence of Paddy’s life.

A familiar and respected figure, Paddy’s professional life was a testament to commitment and reliability. He served for 28 years in the fire service—a role that frequently brought him face-to-face with tragedy, yet showcased his unwavering willingness to step forward when his neighbors needed help most. This same sense of duty defined his 41-year career with the local council, where he earned the enduring respect of his peers.

Beyond the workplace, Paddy’s

Cashel man Neff Giwa is rapidly becoming one of the most unlikely sporting prospects of the year, after a number of high ranking American college football programmes expressed strong interest in recruiting him, despite the fact that he has never played a single game of American football.

Giwa, known locally for his athleticism and imposing physical presence, first appeared on the radar of U.S. scouts after videos of his strength and speed training began circulating online earlier this year. In an era where college football recruiters increasingly look overseas for raw, mouldable talent, Giwa’s profile struck a chord.

According to sources familiar with the outreach, several major NCAA Division I teams have made direct contact with his representatives, eager to assess whether the Cashel native could be developed into a defensive or special teams prospect.

Speaking this week, Giwa expressed equal parts disbelief and excitement.

“I never imagined something like this,” he said. “I’ve always loved sport, but American football wasn’t even on my radar. To think that some of the biggest colleges in the U.S. want to talk to me, it’s surreal. But I’m ready to give it everything and see where it goes.”

contribution to the community was monumental. A stalwart of local sport, particularly soccer, he gave years of service as a club chairman. He was a firm believer in building lasting infrastructure for future generations, taking immense pride in the facilities that now stand as part of his legacy. His own sporting prowess was equally notable; he carried his 1991 All-Ireland handball doubles title with characteristic quiet pride.

In recent years, Paddy found joy in life’s simpler rhythms: mornings on the golf course, walks with friends, and following his beloved Liverpool FC. However, it was within the family circle that his light shone brightest. In a touching tribute, his son described Paddy as the family’s “anchor and guide,” a devoted father and grandfather whose greatest happiness was found in his six grandchildren.

His philosophy was perhaps best captured in the simple maxims

he lived by: “Don’t sweat the small stuff,” “It’s nice to be nice,” and the wry observation that “Common sense isn’t very common.”

As the celebrant noted, Paddy was a man who “endeared himself to all.”

While Cashel mourns the loss of a much-loved figure, there is lasting comfort in the legacy of service, friendship, and kindness he leaves behind. Paddy Hoare’s life was a race well run.

Perdue helps smooth Ireland’s Path to the 2026 World Cup Cashel native Caoimhe Perdue has once again solidified her status as a powerhouse in international hockey, playing a starring role in the Irish women’s national team’s successful qualification for the 2026 FIH Hockey World Cup. In a high-stakes qualifying tournament held in Santiago, Chile, in early March 2026, Perdue emerged as a critical offensive threat, helping the “Green Army” secure their place on the world stage.

Ireland’s campaign in Santiago was defined by a mix of clinical finishing and defensive grit.

Perdue, who currently plays her club hockey for HC Rotterdam in the elite Dutch league, brought a high level of intensity to the squad. Ireland opened their Pool B fixtures with a dominant 5–0

victory over Malaysia. Perdue was instrumental in this statement win, finding the back of the net from a penalty corner late in the first half to double Ireland’s lead.

The momentum continued as Ireland faced Japan and Canada.

Against Japan, Perdue scored again to help secure a tight 2–1 victory. She completed her personal scoring streak in the final pool match against Canada, netting her third goal of the tournament in a 5–1 rout. This result ensured Ireland topped their pool and advanced to the knockout stages with maximum points.

While a narrow 1–0 defeat to Australia in the semi-finals momentarily stalled their gold-medal hopes, the pressure shifted to the bronze-medal match against Japan. With the final World Cup

qualification spot on the line, the match ended in a 0–0 stalemate after regulation time, leading to a dramatic penalty shootout.

Under immense pressure, the Irish squad held their nerve.

Thanks to the heroics of goalkeeper Elizabeth Murphy and successful conversions by Sarah Hawkshaw, Hannah McLoughlin, and Jessica McMaster, Ireland won the shootout 3–1.

This victory officially booked their place for the World Cup, which will be co-hosted by The Netherlands and Belgium from August 15–30, 2026.

Perdue’s contribution to this campaign highlights her growth since captaining the Irish Under-21 side. Her transition to the senior international stage has been seamless, character-

ized by her prowess at penalty corners and her physical presence in the midfield and defensive lines. Her experience playing in The Netherlands has clearly sharpened her tactical awareness, making her one of the first names on the team sheet for head coach Sean Dancer.

As Ireland prepares for the World Cup, they will first turn their attention back to the FIH Hockey Pro League in June 2026. For Caoimhe Perdue, the upcoming tournament represents an opportunity to help the Green Army emulate— or even surpass—their historic silver-medal run of 2018. Given her current form, she remains a vital asset in Ireland’s quest to remain among the world’s elite.

His unexpected rise has sparked widespread enthusiasm across Cashel’s sporting community, with local clubs rallying behind him in a rare moment of cross code unity. Cashel Town FC, where Giwa was a former player, publicly wished him well, noting his “dedication, humility, and natural athletic ability” as qualities that would serve him well on any field.

From the GAA world, Cashel King Cormacs added their support, commending his courage in embracing such a novel challenge. “It’s not every day a local lad gets noticed by elite American colleges,” a club spokesperson said. “Neff has always been a hard worker, and everyone here is behind him.” The town’s rugby community also lent its backing. Cashel RFC highlighted the transferable skills

between rugby and American football and praised Giwa’s willingness to explore a new path. “Athletes from Ireland have made it in the NFL before,” the club noted in reference to previous Irish-born success stories.

“There’s no reason Neff can’t be the next one.”

While the discussions with U.S. colleges are still at an early stage, Giwa is expected to attend evaluation camps and virtual meetings over the coming weeks, with the possibility of travelling stateside later in the year for in person assessments. For now, Cashel is buzzing with pride and curiosity as one of its own prepares to chase an extraordinary opportunity. “It’s mad altogether,” Giwa said with a laugh.

“But dreams don’t come to you — you chase them.”

Le Chéile Cashel’s “Easterland” Draws Over 200 Children for a Fun Filled Community Celebration Le Chéile Cashel once again demonstrated its growing reputation as one of the most dynamic and reliable community organisations in the town with the hugely successful Easterland event held on Saturday, 4 April. Building on a long line of well received initiatives delivered over the past number of years, Le Chéile’s latest family focused celebration further cements its place as an integral part of Cashel’s event and entertainment landscape.

Easterland transformed the Old Fire Station into a colourful, energetic, and laughter filled space for four hours on Saturday afternoon, welcoming more than 200 children aged between 2 and 12. The event showcased not only the creativity and organisational expertise of the Le Chéile volunteers, but also the deep sense of community spirit that continues to strengthen across Cashel.

A Vibrant and Fun Filled Afternoon From the moment families arrived, the atmosphere was one of excitement and discovery. The Old Fire Station was decorated with bright colours, spring motifs, and playful Easter scenes, creating a warm environment that encouraged children to explore, create, and engage.

A major highlight of Easterland was the extensive arts and crafts zone, where children could bring their imagination to life. Under the guidance of patient volunteers, kids enjoyed making Easter crowns, crafting bunny masks,

decorating eggs, and working on a range of colourful handmade items that they proudly brought home. The creativity in the room was infectious, with parents and guardians also taking part, helping younger children cut, colour, and decorate.

Meanwhile, the games area kept kids active and energised throughout the afternoon.

Traditional party games, relay activities, and Easter themed challenges ensured that every child had the chance to take part in friendly, inclusive fun.

Volunteers ensured that children of every age had something suited to their ability, and the frequent bursts of laughter and cheering made it clear that everyone was having a great time.

Another major attraction was the lively children’s disco, which quickly became a favourite with younger attendees. A cheerful playlist full of upbeat songs had the space buzzing with dancing, jumping, conga lines, and joyful chaos. The disco added a festival feel to the day and provided a lovely balance between structured activities and pure energetic fun.

A Visit From the Easter Queen & Her Bunnies Adding a magical flourish to the day were the event’s special guests: the Easter Queen and her bunnies. Their arrival instantly captured the children’s attention as they paraded through the venue waving, greeting the kids, and posing for photographs. Children lined up eagerly for a chance to

meet them, each receiving a small Easter treat and a warm, friendly interaction that made the experience feel extra special.

The presence of the Easter Queen and her bunnies elevated the event from a family gathering to a memorable seasonal celebration that will stay in the minds of the youngest attendees for years to come.

A Testament to Volunteer Dedication Behind the scenes, the success of Easterland was no accident. It was the result of weeks of preparation by a wide and dedicated group of Le Chéile volunteers. Tasks ranging from planning activities and sourcing materials to decorating the venue and organising logistics were all carried out with

enthusiasm and a deep commitment to delivering the best possible experience for children and families.

On the day itself, volunteers ensured everything ran smoothly: welcoming families, guiding children through activities, managing the music and games, and ensuring that everyone left with smiles on their faces. Their commitment embodied the very best of community involvement, and Easterland stands as a proud testament to what can be achieved when people come together with a shared purpose.

Reviving the Old Fire Station – Community at Its Best A special thanks must be extended to Tipperary County Council for making the Old Fire Station

available for community use.

Once a derelict and unused building, the venue has been transformed into a vibrant, functional space that can host events like Easterland with great success.

Its revival shows what is possible when local authorities prioritise community development and recognise the value of supporting grassroots initiatives. Events like Easterland not only animate the building but breathe life into the town centre, creating focal points for families, volunteers, and local groups to connect.

The transformation of the Old Fire Station stands as a model for how underused public buildings can be brought back into productive, positive use, and Easterland is proof that such spaces can

thrive when placed at the heart of community activity.

A Growing Force in Cashel’s Community Life With Easterland now added to their list of successes, Le Chéile Cashel continues to prove itself as a key organisation shaping Cashel’s civic and cultural life.

Their ability to host inclusive, joyful, and well organised events has made them a trusted name in community activity. Families know that when Le Chéile hosts an event, it will be welcoming, safe, fun filled, and memorable.

The Easterland celebration showed once again that the group is not only creating entertainment but also building a stronger, more connected community for everyone

Clonmel boxer Conor O’Donovan makes explosive start with US knockout victory Clonmel native Conor O’Donovan has announced himself on the professional boxing stage in emphatic fashion, securing a first-round knockout victory on his debut in the United States.

O’Donovan, who began his boxing journey at Clonmel Boxing Club at a young age, enjoyed a successful amateur career, reaching elite level and representing Ireland at schoolboy level. After taking a break from the sport for a number of years, he made the decision to return to the ring and pursue the professional ranks.

That decision has already paid dividends. Fighting at the North Shore Music Theatre in Beverly, Boston on Saturday, March 28, O’Donovan delivered a standout performance, stopping his opponent just 2 minutes and 4 seconds into the opening round in a dominant display.

Now trained and managed by Will Rossall in Bandon and promoted by LAST 10 Boxing Promotions, O’Donovan’s impressive debut came on a card organised

by CES Boxing, one of the United States’ leading promoters.

His eye-catching victory has

not gone unnoticed, with organisers keen to bring him back to the US. He is now scheduled to fight again on April 18 at the Connecticut Convention Center, offering another opportunity to build on his remarkable start.

O’Donovan’s early professional success has been made possible through strong backing from sponsors and the local community. His team has expressed sincere appreciation for the continued support and has welcomed interest from businesses who may wish to get involved as his career continues to gather momentum.

“From Bansha to Broadway: A Tipperary Journey to Remember” Accompanied by my daughter Samantha, I had what can only be described as a trip of a lifetime to New York from March 14th 22nd, 2026.

We arrived on Saturday evening, March 14th, where we were warmly welcomed by our host, Norbert Hennessy, who ensured we were safely brought to our hotel just off Times Square — the perfect base for the days ahead.

On Sunday, we took in some of the sights of the city and had the opportunity to watch the New York Marathon before attending a ‘meet and greet’ luncheon at Mustang Harry’s on 7th Avenue.

The venue, owned by Borrisokane brothers Ian and Noel Conroy, was a hub of Tipperary pride.

Members of the County Tipperary Association of New York were present, including my good friend John Grogan, a descendant of the Bansha poet Darby Ryan. It was a special joy to be joined by great friends from Bansha, Kay Hogan and Michelle McManus (the Daly sisters), who were also visiting New York. Hilary Beirne, US Convenor of the Global Irish Famine Way, was also in attendance and extended an invitation to us to attend the Irish and US Flag-Raising Ceremony the following day at Historic Bowling Green, marking the extension of the Famine Way into the United States. During the gathering, Norbert Hennessy presented me with my Grand Marshal sash and Samantha with her Aide sash. The second Aide was Toby Kavanagh of Borrisoleigh, President of the Tipperary Hurling Club. It was a wonderful occasion, and I was honoured to say a few words of appreciation for the invitation and the warm welcome we had received.

Monday brought us to Historic Bowling Green for the flag-raising ceremony, attended by many dignitaries. The event celebrated the immense contribution of the Irish to the founding and development of the United States. I was deeply honoured to be invited by Hilary Beirne to address the gathering, where I spoke about the Tipperary International Peace Award — its history, its purpose, and its role in building bridges, particularly through its American recipients. I was humbled by the

many kind comments received afterwards. Later that day, we took a boat trip to Staten Island and enjoyed a spectacular view of the Statue of Liberty — a truly memorable experience. On our return, we visited the White Horse Tavern (on the recommendation of Association Member Mike Ryan), owned by Mike Gleeson, whose family roots lie in Upperchurch.

It was a pleasure to meet Frank Gleeson there before returning to the hotel after another full and rewarding day.

Tuesday, March 17th — the big day — began early as we made our way to St. Patrick’s Cathedral for the 8:30am St. Patrick’s Day Mass. It was a truly uplifting occasion in a magnificent setting, with Mass celebrated by Archbishop Ronald Hicks. His sermon was inspiring, complemented beautifully by the outstanding choir and vocalists. I had the great pleasure of renewing acquaintances with former President Mary Robinson, who spoke warmly of receiving the Tipperary International Peace Award in 2019. I also met US Senator Patricia Fahy and GAA President Jarlath Burns. It was particularly special to meet my good friend Paul Collins from Annacarty, as well as Seamus Fennessy, whose family hails from Clonmel, along with many others proud of their Tipperary connections. After Mass, we paused briefly for a cup of tea before making our way to the parade assembly point. Along the route, we met many people with Tipperary roots, all eager to share a word and capture a photograph. On arrival, it was wonderful to meet further Tipperary friends and supporters, including the Crowe and Ryan families from Bansha, as well as Kay Hogan and her sister Michelle McManus (the Daly sisters), who had come out to support us. We also had the opportunity to meet again with GAA President Jarlath Burns for a quick photograph before the parade began. No words can fully capture the scale and spectacle of the parade. Fifth Avenue was lined with thousands upon thousands of people — Irish and non-Irish alike — waving, cheering, and proudly calling out “Up Tipp!”. Streets were filled with people of all ages, from

young children waving flags with excitement to older generations proudly honouring their roots.

Walking down Fifth Avenue past St. Patrick’s Cathedral, where the Archbishop greeted participants, and alongside Central Park, was simply unforgettable. The welcome at the reviewing stand for the Tipperary contingent was tremendous. Following the parade, we met Firefighter Brian Grogan, whose grandfather was from Cashel and grandmother from Clonmel, both of whom had emigrated to the United States.

We then attended a reception at The Gaf on 2nd Avenue before returning to our hotel, exhausted but immensely happy after an extraordinary day.

Wednesday, March 18th, was a free day, giving us the opportunity to explore more of the city. We enjoyed a horse-drawn carriage ride through Central Park, where we met carriage drivers who remembered Joe Hourigan from Cappawhite, who had operated carriage tours there in years gone by. Our driver pointed out several iconic locations featured in films such as Home Alone, as well as the spot where John Lennon was tragically shot, and the memorial that now stands in his honour.

We later revisited some of these locations on foot for photographs and spent time exploring other landmarks including Bryant Park and the Empire State Building.

That evening, my good friend John Grogan brought us along the Hudson River for further sightseeing, followed by dinner — a perfect way to round off a memorable day.

On Thursday, I had the honour of meeting Ambassador Fergal Mythen at Ireland’s Permanent Mission to the United Nations.

It was a valuable opportunity to discuss the Tipperary International Peace Award and brief him on current nominees. Later, we attended a medal presentation at the Consulate General of Ireland for New York GAA champions.

It was wonderful to meet Consul General Gerald Angley, GAA President Jarlath Burns again, former President Larry McCarthy, and many players, including my good friend Conor Hammersley of Clonoulty Rossmore, who was a proud member of the winning

The County Tipperary N. & B. Association of New York President, Norbert Hennessy, presenting their Grand Marshal, Martin Quinn, with his Sash along with his Aide, daughter, Samantha, and Hilary Beirne of Irish America 250 Lowry Meagher team.

Friday was a deeply reflective day, as we visited Ground Zero at the 9/11 World Trade Centre — a place of remembrance and respect. We paid particular tribute to Cappawhite native Martin John Coughlan. We also visited the grave of Alexander Hamilton and walked the Brooklyn Bridge, another unforgettable experience.

That evening, we attended the musical CHESS at the Imperial Theatre — a fantastic production.

Saturday, March 21st, began with a wonderful champagne breakfast at the home of Norbert and Norah Hennessy in Scarsdale — a gesture of great kindness and hospitality. We then attended the St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Yonkers. The Yonkers St. Patrick’s Day Parade was a truly magnificent occasion — a vibrant celebration of Irish heritage and community spirit. Band followed band in a colourful and energetic procession, the sound of music

echoing through the streets and adding to the sense of occasion.

There was an unmistakable Irish presence everywhere. The crowds were a sea of green, interwoven with the colours of the counties, each proudly displayed. It was heartening to see so many Irish and Irish-Americans gathered together, united in celebration, pride, and a shared sense of belonging. The atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and full of joy — a reminder of the strength of the Irish community abroad and the deep connection that continues to exist across the Atlantic.

It was, in every sense, a truly wonderful event and a fitting celebration of St. Patrick’s Day. Following the parade, we gathered at Katie’s Cottage for a reception. I had the opportunity to present a token of appreciation to Norbert on behalf of the County Tipperary Association. To my great surprise, Legislator David Tubiolo arrived and presented me

with a Proclamation declaring April 18th, 2026, as “Martin Quinn Day” in Westchester County — an honour I will cherish forever (see further details elsewhere). A further special moment was a surprise birthday celebration for Samantha, whose birthday fell just days later.

On Sunday, March 22nd, Norbert once again ensured our safe journey to JFK Airport, taking us over the Brooklyn Bridge — a fitting final memory of an extraordinary trip.

During my trip I carried with me the memory of Eileen Perry of Ballyran, Solohead, who lived in New York all her life and never missed a St. Patrick’s Day Parade, along with her brother Jim and my dear cousin Marie Quinn of Waterford.

It was, in every sense, a journey filled with friendship, pride, and unforgettable moments — truly a trip of a lifetime.

Eye Thurles

By the Cathedral Townie

Life Buoys vandals should be ashamed of themselves There is great anger in Thurles over the interfering with invaluable life-buoys along the river Suir at the rear of Thurles Shopping Centre.

The life buoys are strategically located and housed in their own unit to be used in the event of people getting into trouble in the waters of the Suir. And, they have been deployed in the past and helped save lives when pressed into action.

However, this latest act has incensed locals with Independent

Dúrlas Óg U12’s are back in action

Councillor Jim Ryan stating that the perpetrators should be ashamed of themselves. “I am so disgusted to see life buoys along the river walk at the back of Dunnes Stores in Thurles being vandalised recently. Whoever did this should be ashamed of themselves. These life buoys are there to save lives and this sort of behaviour is unacceptable and criminal. If anyone knows who is doing it please contact Thurles Gardai,” Councillor Ryan stated.

County titles for Thurles Thurles Crokes enjoy marvellous badminton players

With juvenile games in Tipperary having returned to even ages, Dúrlas Óg’s U12’s produced a great display in their opening game showing great heart and effort in the process. All of these boys made their debut for the club and played their first U12 game – the future is bright and it will be onwards and upwards for these boys in the years to come. Well done lads.

Thurles Badminton players had a great day in Templemore recently when an outing involving multiple teams was held. This was the first year for the club with a juvenile section and there has been great participating with players training regularly and enjoying the games. The icing on

the cake was the capturing of a few county titles which was very welcome with Thomas Callanan winning the U13 division 2 titles; and Lola Ryan and Lucy Ryan winner and runner-up in the U15 Division 2; in the U17 Div 2 the winner was Rachel Fitzgibbon, with Kayla Raven as runner

up. Meanwhile Denis Broland was runner up in the u19 boys section.

Congrats to all and thanks to all who took part. As always, huge thanks to all involved in organising and running these events.

Days like this are massive for all who take part.

Little Athletics Easter Party What a brilliant night was had by all at the Thurles Crokes AC Little Athletics Easter Party recently The little stars of the field swapped their running shoes for some well-deserved treats in the club-

house. A massive thank you to all the parents for the incredible spread of goodies- the energy in the hall was as high as the sugar rush.

Thurles Crokes AC are taking a quick breather to recharge the

batteries and training will resume on Monday, April 20th Wishing all athletes, families, and coaches a very Happy Easter! Enjoy the break, and we’ll see you in a few weeks.

Thanks from Parish Pastoral Team Following the completion of Holy Week in the Cathedral Town, Thurles Parish Pastoral Team has expressed a sincere word of thanks to all for prayerful participation, at all the Holy Week ceremonies. The Team said this week: “We especially thank our Choirs, Cantors, Altar Servers, Sacristans, Eucharistic Ministers, Ministers of the Word, and all who helped to plan and participate and, in some cases, lead various elements of our ceremonies this year.

“The interest, involvement and commitment of so many of our parishioners is indeed very welcome and most heartening.

At a time of widespread unrest in our fractured world, we pray for peace to all nations and that the hope contained in the Resurrection of Jesus will be the catalyst for peace, love and harmony to prevail.

“We wish you all the joy, hap-

piness and hope that the Easter season brings each year and that your days will be filled with love and warmth by connecting with your family and loved ones near and far,” the Team said.

Thurles Community Services AGM The Thurles Community Services AGM will be held on Tuesday April 21st in Golden Years Day Centre, St Mary’s Health Centre at 7.30pm. All are welcome.

Dawn Mass at Killinan Cemetery on Easter morning In keeping with tradition, a large attendance rose in darkness on Easter Sunday morning and made their way to Killinan Cemetery in the parish of Thurles for the annual Dawn Mass.

It was a cold morning in the aftermath of Storm Dave, but there was great warmth in the atmosphere at Killinan as locals and visitors alike attended the Mass celebrated by Rev Fr James Purcell, PP Thurles, and Rev Fr Vincent Stapleton, CC, Thurles.

As the new day dawned and the sun rose, Mass was celebrated at the graveyard which is a tranquil oasis in the parish set just back

off the main Thurles- Nenagh road.

Dawn Mass on Easter Sunday morning holds deep spiritual and community significance in many local communities. Celebrated at sunrise, it symbolizes the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the triumph of light over darkness, reflecting the moment when the empty tomb was discovered.

Gathering in the early morning at Killinan creates a peaceful and reflective atmosphere, allowing people to share in a sense of hope, renewal, and faith. It strengthens community bonds,

as families, neighbours, and parish members come together to celebrate a shared religious tradition. The natural beauty of the sunrise adds to the meaning of the celebration, reminding worshippers of new beginnings and spiritual rebirth.

Dawn Mass at Killinan also encourages quiet reflection and gratitude, helping individuals to renew their commitment to faith and compassion. Overall, the celebration served as another powerful reminder of unity, renewal, and the importance of community in celebrating Easter’s message of hope and new life.

Daffodil Day raises almost €15K in Thurles

Sarsfields reach €150,000 mark with fundraiser Thurles Sarsfields GAA club have reached a remarkable €150,000 with their recent fundraising initiative to help provide state of the art facilities at Toor, Killinan, just outside the town.

The club has invested in the future by purchasing land and constructing two pitches to help cater for the expanding number of teams playing gaelic games across, hurling, football, ladies football and camogie. And, the next phase of the development of the site at the Nenagh Road

is the development of dressing rooms, stand and ancillary facilities to compliment the already established walkway which is fully flood lighted.

This walkway is going down a real treat with locals who are thrilled to be able to take exercise on a safe 1km track which is away from traffic. Indeed, the numbers using the track have been growing and growing, and having engaged in the very successful walkathon to help raise the funds, Thurles Sarsfields reached out to the public at

large and were thrilled with the response received.

“We are beyond grateful and thrilled to announce that over €150,000 has been raised from our Walkathon. We can’t thank everyone enough who raised funds, donated, and took part in what has been our biggest fundraiser to date. Not only has this raised much-needed funds to build for the future of our club, but it has also brought us closer together as a community.

Thank you to everyone involved,” the club said this week.

A massive €14,800 was raised on Friday March 20th in Thurles town as part of the Daffodil Day fundraiser for the Irish Cancer Society.

Organisers have expressed a

huge thank you to all volunteers for their time on the day, the shopping outlets around the town who accommodated the stands and the media which promoted it.

Pictured the organisers are (l to R) Niamh Harrington, Nicola McMahon (Irish Cancer Society), Bernie Walsh, Dan Harty and Jim Sweeney.

Well done to all concerned.

THE VIEW by Noel Dundon

Wins, losses and draws - all in a week of GAA activity in The Premier County. Cork’s Treaty surrender - Limericks warning That lull between the closing curtain on the league campaign and the thunderous arrival of the championship can feel like hurling’s version of a long exhale — a strange, restless pause where supporters shuffle their feet and wait for the real fireworks to begin. Thankfully, the calendar still throws us a few tasty morsels to chew on. The Allianz National Hurling League Final offered a welcome distraction, while the outings of the U20 and minor hurlers provided enough intrigue to keep the county’s sporting appetite well fed.

Wins and Losses Victory at underage level always brings a lift, and two wins on the board will sit nicely with supporters this week. The minors lit up FBD Semple Stadium on Friday, outscoring Clare in a rip-roaring, high-octane clash and finishing with four points to spare after a lively and free-flowing contest.

The U20s, however, took a more nerve-jangling route to victory. Their one-point win over Waterford in Fraher Field, Dungarvan on Wednesday evening was as surprising as it was fortunate. Having battled bravely into a stiff breeze in the first half and gone in level with the Déise, many expected the Premier engine to roar into life after the break and steamroll their way to a comfortable win. Instead, the gears seemed to grind. Rather than going for the jugular, the side retreated into their shell, working cautiously from the back and allowing Waterford to stay in the hunt right to the final whistle.

The narrow escape has sparked plenty of grumbling in the stands and online, but management will point to the only stat that really

matters — a perfect start to the campaign, achieved without several key players. It’s worth remembering that this same side stumbled out of the blocks last year before going on to claim All-Ireland glory. There are bigger tests — and bigger prizes — waiting down the road.

The U20 footballers weren’t as fortunate, falling to Waterford on Friday evening despite looking reasonably comfortable at the halfway mark. Unfortunately, matches are decided over sixty minutes, not thirty, and once the Déise found their rhythm in the second half they pulled away with authority, leaving Tipperary chasing shadows.

Draws Excitement rippled across the county with the announcement of the FBD Insurance hurling and football championship draws — a sure sign that championship summer is stirring into life.

There is always a so-called “group of death,” but this year the senior hurling championship looks like it has several.

Group 1 reads like a heavyweight battle: Sarsfields, Holycross Ballycahill, Kilruane MacDonagh and newly promoted Upperchurch Drombane — no easy evenings there. Group 2 is just as fierce, with champions Loughmore Castleiney joined by Moycarkey Borris, Clonoulty Rossmore and Borris-Ileigh in what promises to be a bruising contest. Group 3 offers a fascinating North Tipperary double-header as Kiladangan and Roscrea collide with Drom-Inch and Cashel King Cormacs, while Group 4 sees another double-north pairing -Nenagh Éire Óg and Toomevara, with Brackens and Mullinahone set to lock horns in a battle for survival and

progress.

Trying to predict outcomes at this stage is a fool’s errand. Injuries, holidays, county commitments and the unpredictable rhythm of a long summer can turn any group on its head. One thing is certain though — wherever Tipperary supporters turn, there will be plenty to keep them glued to the sidelines.

The Premier Intermediate championship looks just as explosive. Like the Dan Breen Cup, the Seamus Ó Riain Cup promises heat, tension and tight finishes. Gortnahoe Glengoole, Silvermines, Sean Treacy’s and Moyne Templetuohy headline Group 1, while Swans, St Mary’s, Sarsfields and Killenaule form a dangerous-looking Group 2. Swans, having contested the last two county finals, will naturally be among the favourites — but the big question remains: do they have the legs to go one better this time?

Group 3, featuring Lorrha Dorrha, Moneygall, Burgess and Templederry, could yet throw up a surprise package, while Group 4 — Boherlahan Dualla, Éire Óg Annacarty, Golden Kilfeacle and Ballina — has all the ingredients for a tightly fought scrap.

The senior football championship, meanwhile, brings its own intrigue. Thurles Sarsfields make their long-awaited debut and face a stern examination in Group 3 alongside Kilsheelan Kilcash, JK Brackens and Ballyporeen. Champions Commercials sit in Group 1 with Ballina, Aherlow and Ardfinnan, while Loughmore Castleiney line out in Group 2 with Upperchurch Drombane, Moyle Rovers and Grangemockler Ballyneale. On paper it looks fiercely competitive, and if history tells us anything, there will be

shocks, upsets and dramatic evenings before the dust settles.

County League games continue to tick along in the background, but they are little more than a warm-up act compared to the white heat of championship. Their real value lies in unearthing fresh talent — a young hurler finding his stride, a new footballer staking a claim, a squad player quietly forcing his way into the conversation. The challenge for the new faces is simple but ruthless: make yourself impossible to drop. Impress enough now, and when the heavy artillery comes back, you won’t be the one stepping aside.

The League Final Having lost their league opener, Limerick are now Allianz champions. John Kiely’s men turned back the clock and delivered a fine showing to relieve Cork of their crown. This statement victory issues a warning to all - Limerick are in full flow. By the time Tipp meet them in the last round of the Munster round robin, a lot more will be known about their mentality. Cork, by contrast, approach their opener with us in two weeks time, with plenty of questions hanging over them.

Footballers Nod The Tipp footballers kick off their championship campaign next weekend against Waterford on home soil. They will need to be at their best and cannot take anything for granted. They should get the job done, all going well. Defeat would be a real setback.

A back to bac win for this six-year-old which saw him win his twenty third career win with this dominating performance.

Gortnahoe owner-trainer Derek Kehoe’s Slaneyside Cyril who has been in the top three on his last seven starts ,winning four, gave a very eye catching run in the feature race to win yet again in 28.76 which proved fastest on the night while local and very strong supporter of Clonmel Track Paddy Hickey delighted with the performance from Thorney Thistle, who is trained by Maurice Organ, win the eight race with a commanding performance from trap to line in 28.92. Clonmel owner Mary O Connor had Minor Bigboy, who is very lightly raced, take his career first win with a 29.41 performance finishing very strong on the run in to deny Foxrock Nell on the line.

Friday Night Racing David Fnanagan and Margaret Barrett from Derryluskin Fethard completed a double on the night starting with a win in the opening race.

Derek Kehoe’s Slaneyside Ace very narrowly landed the fifth race denying Born Sunny on the line by a neck in 29.23 while J.J. Dunne’s Emers Nessie gave a very positive performance when winning the sixth in 29.86 who is trained by our own local Tipperary Rose contestant Emer Dunne. Ballingarry trainer Paraic Campion landed the penultimate race with a very gutsy performance from Boozed Spark and rounding off a good night’s racing trainer Maurice Organ has Santolina on the winner’s podium for The Blue and Gold Syndicate with a 29.37 run.

Clonmel Art and Music departments celebrate month of creative achievement The Art and Music Departments at Tipperary FET (Further Education and Training) College - Clonmel have marked an exceptional month of artistic development, collaboration, and public engagement, highlighting the depth of talent and dedication within our student community.

Throughout the month, Level 6 Art students participated in two specialised workshops designed to strengthen both their craftsmanship and their understanding of professional art practices.

Students got to experience the craft of photo framing with local business Artisan Frames. In their workshop, they received handson instruction in the techniques of precision framing, gaining insight into materials, tools, and the importance of high quality presentation in visual art.

In collaboration with the furniture making department, students learned essential woodworking skills as they designed and constructed custom plinths for exhibition use. This interdisciplinary workshop offered students practi-

cal experience relevant to gallery installation and display.

Level 6 students also hosted a two week exhibition in the school library, featuring a curated selection of work in printing, painting, and sculpture. The exhibition showcased both technical proficiency and conceptual maturity, drawing strong engagement from visitors, staff, and fellow learners.

Students from Level 5 Art Portfolio, Furniture Making, and Digital Arts took part in a unique collaborative project with internationally recognised street artist Kathrina Rupit. The group worked alongside the artist to create a large scale mural on permanent display on the back wall of the car park in The Mall.

Rupit, whose recent commissions include promotional murals for the Netflix Peaky Blinders film premieres in Dublin and Cork, provided students with invaluable insight into the workflow, scale, and creative energy of professional mural-making. This collaboration stands as a significant highlight of the academic year,

enriching students’ understanding of public art and contemporary creative practice.

In addition to the achievements in the visual arts, our Music students enjoyed notable performance opportunities this month.

They delivered impressive live performances at the Tipperary ETB Schools’ Talent Show, representing the college with professionalism and enthusiasm.

The students also performed during the Open Day held here in Clonmel, contributing to a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere for prospective learners and visitors.

This series of workshops, exhibitions, collaborations, and performances reflects our commitment to providing high quality creative education and meaningful industry engagement. We commend all students involved for their hard work, professionalism, and artistic growth, and we extend our gratitude to staff and external partners who made these accomplishments possible.

U12B Championship Ballingarry 3-2 Ballylooby Castlegrace 3-3 In our first Championship football match we made the long trip to ballingarry. In a keenly contested game the sides swapped early scores and were very even in a 1st half that saw us lead by 1 point at the break. We had our keeper Ben Burton make an incredible save just before halftime clawing a ball away destined for the top corner.

Kathleen Moloney

2nd half we really had to dig in as we came under pressure but our defender were magnificent only conceding 1-1 2nd half with Oliver Wilkinson at half back putting in a man of the match performance.

Our u10 player Eoin Hally played a great game and won us a vital free in the last few minutes which Daithi English pointed to make it a 2 point game. In the last 2 minutes some heroic defending from our backs lead again by Oliver saw the ball worked through the lines via Daragh Butler, Ed Fitzgerald and Oran McCarthy and they found Daithi English to apply the finish a winning goal with almost the last kick. Credit to all our players who worked tremendously hard throughout and although we have alot to work on ball in hand our work ethic as always with this team was excellent.
