The Honan Chapel, UCC
The beautiful national treasure that is the Honan Chapel.
This doorway has featured in many many wedding photographs.
The nave with its iconic river mosaic
The stained glass in this church is among the best there is.
Eleven of the windows are the work of Harry Clarke. I thought this was St. Gobnait. Now I’m not so sure.
The plaque commemorating the Honan family who contributed generously to the establishment of this chapel and the nearby Honan hostel.

A Poem

Goodnight Sister
I took this picture of Nell McCafferty at Women in Media in Ballybunion in 2018. Nell passed away on August 21 2024.
Nell was a fearless advocate for women’s rights. She will always be remembered in these parts for her outspoken championing of Joanne Hayes during her ordeal at the hands of men in Tralee courthouse.
Nell was a voice for voiceless women. May she rest in peace.
A Fact
The car manufacturer, Volvo, made the three point seatbelt design patent open and available free of charge to other car manufactures. They did this in the interests of safety.
