Co-hosted by Nollaig na mBan team members Mary McIntyre and Dee Nolan, our Bealtaine celebration at the Westbury Pub on West 38th last week was an event not to be missed. The fáilte from staff was gracious and the food was delicious. We chose the venue because it features traditional Irish music on Sunday afternoons with fiddler Bernadette Fee and singer/guitarist, Seán Moloney.

Leinster 16; La Rochelle 14
Forget the era of Leinster playing champagne rugby without cracking open the bubbly when it matters most - in champions cup finals.

TED Howell was 77 when he died last Friday. On Tuesday we buried him in Milltown Cemetery in the grave of the love of his life, Eileen Duffy. The two of them were devoted to each other. They were married on October 9, 1972. That night Ted was arrested.
Fortunately, his false ID held up and he was released the following morning. Eileen was a formidable republican also. She was a hard worker and a champion of West Belfast. Ted and she had two fine sons, Eamonn and Proinnsias.
