This blog is a personal take on Listowel, Co. Kerry. I am writing for anyone anywhere with a Listowel connection but especially for sons and daughters of Listowel who find themselves far from home. Contact me at listowelconnection@gmail.com

Altar boys identified

Here they are again. There has been great interest in these likely lads with several people, some of them in the photo, giving me the names. Éamon ÓMurchú was the first to put the names in print so he gets the credit.

And they are…

Paddy Keane, Joe Walsh,  Martin Sheehy, Breandán Ó Murchú, Caoimhín Ó Murchú, Ciarán Ó Murchú, Éamon Ó Murchú, Tom Walsh, Brendan Dalton,Brian Dalton,Cyril Kelly and John Keane.

Go raibh míle maith agaibh to all who offered to name the boys and who showed so much interest in this old photo.

The man who sent me the photo was John Sheehy R.I.P., a man whom I think of often when I am posting here. He would have loved this so much. May the sod rest lightly on his gentle soul.

    I believe I have the original of this photo and had loaned it to my late brother, John Sheehy ( R.I.P) who ' digitalised ' it. He would be overjoyed to see it posted in this wonderful blog.
