Eily’s Report – 20th December

Dia is mhuire diobh go leir a cairde and welcome to my weekly Report.

Our Christmas week got off to a great start at 10 on Monday morning with a wonderful Carol Service in our Church given by the boys of our local National School. The variety of voices of many nationalities and of musical instruments added lustre to the performance, some pieces enough to draw a tear, others to induce toes tapping. Some parents recording it on their phones to enjoy it again later.

Well done to all involved.
