Knocknagoshel Church
There are some lovely stained glass windows in this beautiful church. Some churches have veery richly coloured windows, which in themselves are lovely but can serve to darken the interior. This church has a happy mix of coloured and clear glass so the church is cool and bright. Here are some of the lovely windows.
The church has many generous benefactors who are commemorated in the windows and in plaques on the walls.

The Kanturk Launch of A Minute of Your Time
This is my sister-in-law, Breeda’s, kitchen in the afternoon of the Kanturk launch. I joined the testers who are out of this shot. A big thank you to my Kanturk family who pulled out all the stops to make this night such a success.
Cora and Aisling helped their dad to sell the books in the Edel Quinn Hall. Róisín took the photos.
My cousin, Eugene Brosnan returned to his Kanturk roots to provide the musical entertainment. He was a big hit with the audience.
One of the great parts of the night was meeting up with old friends, most of whom told me that I have grown into my mother.
My nephew, William, introduced me with such a glowing speech I hardly recognised myself.
Tony and Joan pictured here with my brother are frequent visitors to Ballybunion. I hardly recognised them in their winter clothes and on home turf.
