Mystery of the missing cath lab POLITICIANS are calling for more information about the removal of the mobile cath lab from University Hospital Waterford (UHW). The lab was installed to supplement the main lab at UHW, performing diagnostic procedures for heart problems. Work to upgrade the main lab has been stopped becaue of restrictions imposed by the Covid-19 crisis, so there is now no functioning cath lab at UHW. All cardiac procedures are being conducted at UPMC’s Whitfield Hospital where a new cath lab has been installed. Sinn Féin TD David Cullinane says this lab is only operating Monday to Friday, as was the main lab at UHW. It was concern over the parttime operation that led to the installation of the mobile lab. “My understanding is that all cardiac procedures in Waterford are now being carried out in Whitfield, none are being carried out at University Hospital Waterford,” Mr Culinane said.

He complained about lack of information for the public. “I think it is regrettable that the information wasn’t publicly made available, given to Oireachtas members, but also made available to the public so people know exactly what is happening, where the services are located and what services are available,” he said. Matt Shanahan, the Independent TD who was elected to fight for better facilities at the hospital, said he had been given no explanation for the halting of refurbishment work on the main lab. “It remains unexplained despite that this work would be seen as ‘essential’ within the meaning of Government Covid guidelines,” Mr Shanahan said. He asked for an explanation “as to why a private concern (Whitfield) can purchase, install and commission a brand new cath lab in less than eight weeks while our public sector Turn to Page 2

Shops re-open as protests continue A NEW Shop Waterford Support Local campaign has been launched as some shops and businesses across Waterford city and county reopened for the first time since the Covid-19 crisis began to bite. The campaign, which is supported by business owners from Waterford city, Tramore and Dungarvan, aims to encourage all Waterford people to support local in every purchase. A video campaign has been developed by Waterford.fyi in partnership with the City and Town Centre Management groups. It features 17 business owners from the city, Tramore and Dungarvan. They include Morris’s DIY, Waterford, where Seamus Reynolds said: “I would be a major, major fan of shopping local. I think it’s really critical, and particularly in this time, that we support local businesses, it’s so important. Instead of ordering online, and it takes two or three weeks to come, what we try and do with my kids, is go into the retailer because chances are, they might be able to order it and get it in for you.” As part of the phased re-opening of business,

Waterfod council has resumed full grass maintenance services in all public areas. Preparations have also been made for the summer floral planting programme . Meanwhile, one group of retail workers who have lost their jobs, are fighting for better redundancy terms. Waterford Council of Trade Unions joined the socially distanced protest by Debenhams workers

(pictured) at City Square Waterford . The large turnout of workers and supporters was described by WCTU as “very encouraging and exactly what is needed”. Up to 2,000 Debenhams workers in Waterford, Dublin and Cork, lost their jobs when the company was formally liquidated. The workers contend that approximately half the stores are profitable and point out

that the online business is still active. WCTU says the company has “refused to provide a redundancy package to loyal employees (and) has left it to the State to provide statutory redundancy payments to the workers.” WCTU has called on all workers to refuse, in solidarity, to assist if Debenhams attempt to remove stock from any of its facilities.

Mystery of the vanishing cath lab

providers required a 15-week schedule to complete a change over of equipment”. He said this was “a mystery that does not bode well for the efficiency of proposed Slaintecare reforms”. The South East Patient Advocacy Group said it was very concerned at the removal of the mobile lab “given that the main cath lab at UHW is currently shut down.” In a statement it said: “The main cath lab was initially to be closed for 12 weeks from early February whilst the equipment upgrade was carried out, and it was our understanding that it was due to re-open this week. “We need clarification on this very serious situation immediately. Why did our elected representatives not know about this move? Why were they not notified about it? Why did they not bring this to our attention?” Mr Cullinane said he had been told that work on the main cath lab would start again shortly.

‘Chicken and egg’ terms halt housing development TWO housing developments in Waterford county were blocked by what an architect has called a “chicken and egg” dilemma. The problem is that Waterford council won’t grant planning permission until the infrastucture for water and waste water has been upgraded but Irish Water won’t upgrade the infrastructure unless it is sure planning will be approved. The developments were intended for Lemybrien and Ardmore and would have provided 52 houses. The problem is not unique to Waterford. It has arisen in other local authority areas, according to Waterford architect David Merrigan. He said it was a particular problem for small developers who were being asked to spend a fortune on a wastewater infrastructure with no certainty that planning permission would be granted. In 2018, Mr Merrigan, a director of MDP+Partners Architects, assisted Michael, Paudie and Séamus Veale and their brother-in-law Denis Lillis in seeking planning for 16 houses on an eight-acre site purchased in Lemybrien.

Irish Water supported the development and gave a commitment to do the necessary infrastructural work after planning permission had been obtained. The Veales undertook lengthy pre-planning talks with Waterford council and spent money on meeting legal requirements and preparing reports. But the council refused planning permssion, primarily because the site was “not serviced by an adequate water supply or wastewater network”, Mr Merrigan told the Irish Examiner. Irish Water says it has no plans to upgrade the infrasructure, based on the present population. Mr Merrigan believes upgrading the infrastructure could form part of development charges if planning were granted. The Veales have appealed the decision to An Bord Pleanála. Waterford City and County Council, meanwhile, has frevealed a sharp drop in planning applicationas since the Covid-19 crisis set in. A total of 48 Planning applications were received in the month of April compared to 78 for the same month last year.

Are you missing your work spouse? THE locked-down people of Waterford are really missing their ‘work spouse’ - that’s the person in your workplace with whom you have a really close relationship, not necessarily sexual. Many couples are finding working from home a strain, and one-in-five of them say they are missing their ‘work spouse’ more than they think they would miss their real spouse. One in ten admit to accidentally calling their partner by their work spouse’s name. The work spouse confessions come from a survey of more 2,500 employees, which included home workers in Waerford. It was conducted for PRPioneer.com Many couples said they were not as productive at home as they would be in the workplace And 61% of employees work-

ing from home said they would be more productive if they were in lockdown with their work spouse as compared to their actual partner. Jamie Ellis of PRPioneer.com advises a bit of social distancing to smooth things at home.”If you have the space, try working in a separate room to one another and plan your lunch hours at the same time,” he says. “This way, you will each be able to give more attention to your work while still enjoying time together as a couple.” ONLINE: Network Waterford has been helping beat the lockdown blues by providing training and support to members online. They have held yoga and brunch online, a LinkedIn workshop and a presentation skills masterclass. For more information see www.networkireland.ie

Just carry on borrowing folks

either a borrower nor a lender be, warned Shakespeare’s Polonius. He was a counsellor to the king of Denmark. It’s well he is not advising our present Government for they are borrowing at a rate that would give the old bore a seizure. My mother would have agreed entirely with Polonius. She had a horror of debt and liked to pay for services as soon as they had been delivered. She was baffled at the lack of business sense displayed by some tradespeople who would send out their bills at the end of the month, instead of demanding instant payment. My father, who took a more relaxed view of such matters, sometimes had to restrain her from calling at their premises to discover what was causing the delay. Some of my mother’s principles must have rubbed off on me, for I tend to come down on the Polonius side of the debt debate.

But not in the case of present Government borrowing. Borrow away, I say, and lose no sleep over how it will be repaid. It could cause problems in the future, but if they don’t borrow now, we may have no future, or at least not one that most of us would care to contemplate. In fact, I don’t think this borrowing really will cause problems in the future. Our grandchildren and great-grandchildren may still be paying off these loans but, on past experience, they won’t even be aware of it. The government of the day

borrowed heavily when the economy crashed in 2009. It borrowed, not to get out of recession, but just to keep the country afloat, and there were were dire warnings from economists and politicians about how the next generation would suffer. It didn’t.

By clever management, the Department of Finance was able to swap high-interest loans for loans with a lower rate of repayment. Then interest rates fell everywhere, so repaying our debt became relatively painless. The debt didn’t go away but it didn’t hit anyone in their pocket

- and that’s what matters to ordinary families who budget in hundreds, not billions of euro. Maybe if we hadn’t borrowed so much we could have spent a bit more on health or housing. Maybe. But we’ll never really know because lots of other things happened that also affected the government’s ability to spend and the tax it had to impose. The State made money on its investment in Nama and its shareholding in Irish banks. It squandered money on the National Children’s Hospital and ridiculous transport schemes for Dublin that were scrapped before they ever got going. It intervened when an insurance company went bust and wasted a fortune on trying to bring in water charges. But it stuck to its guns on the rate of corporation tax, yielding a bonanza from foreign companies that was way beyond predictions. So some taxes went up and some came down, levies were imposed, a social charge was introduced. Did any of this flow

from that initial government borrowing? Who knows? What matters is not government borrowing but government competence and its ability to keep repayments at a tolerable level. So borrow away, I say. We can do so because the last two governments got the Irish economy into reasonably good shape and we are trusted on world markets. And we can do so because we are being backed by the European Central Bank. It won’t pay our debts but it will go guarantor for our loans, providing they are for sensible purposes aimed at restoring the economy. We have never been in such a fortunate position at any other time of crisis. And we will never be able to borrow so cheaply again. It may seem a bit mad; my mother would certainly have thought so. But since I opened this column on such a high cultural note, let me finish with more from the wisdom of Polonius: “Though this be madness, yet there is method in it”.

Is the Coronavirus lockdown good for Bees?

You learned about the birds and the bees from your parents. Today, scientists say Bee populations are rapidly declining around the world due to habitat loss, pollution and the use of pesticides, among other factors. These creatures are vital to what we eat and what our countryside looks like. Bees are the world’s most important pollinators, fertilising a third of the food we eat and 80% of flowering plants. Bees and other pollinating insects have a global economic value of around £120bn ($150bn) and contribute around £690m ($850m) to the UK economy every year, according to a University of Reading study. That’s good news for your investments. The global shutdown has seen a significant reduction in air pollution. Less fumes from cars makes it easier for bees to forage, as air pollution substantially re-

Expert VIEW John Smiles Qualified Financial Advisor duces the strength and longevity of floral scents, according to a 2016 study. Pollutants break down scent molecules emitted by plants, making it harder for bees to detect food. This means bees often end up flying further to find food and bring it back to their nests. We can expect the number of bee deaths to fall as the number of car journeys decreases. A 2015 study in Canada estimated that 24 billion bees and wasps are killed by vehicles on roads across North America every year.

Many Local authorities have stopped maintaining road verges turning them into lush habitats. This unexpected profusion of flowers will benefit the bees and help to boost their populations. If you are a honey lover, it may not be good news for you. Commercial beekeepers and farmers relying on them to pollinate their crops are struggling because of travel restrictions. Beekeepers depend heavily on seasonal workers and on importing queen bees from around the world to replenish their colonies. If they cannot import labour to harvest the honey, hives will become congested. Arable farmers depend on travelling commercial hives to pollinate their crops and they will also suffer if hives cannot be moved. So you may see less honey produced with significant price rises.

Hospital develops online nurse link

NURSES at a Waterford hospital have pioneered a communications system which has beern adopted by more than 40 other hospitals worldwide. The cloud-based system uses video conferencing and live presentations to keep everyone up to date on changing guidelines, policies and procedures. This easy sharing of information is helpful when nurses are deployed to an area where they do not normally work, or even to another hospital. It has proved invaluable during the Covid-19 crisis when such transfers have become more frequent. Whitfield hospital in Waterford was the first of more than 40 UPMC hospitals worldwide to schedule nurses using this Teams Shift application. In Ireland it is also being used in Carlow, Kildare and Cork. “This technology has been essential as we adapted to the realities of Covid-19, when rapid communication and the seamless sharing of information are critical,” said Gwen Daniels, chief nursing officer for UPMC in Ireland.

and footpaths in restart plan

FIFTEEN works from Waterford artists will be auctioned for charity later this month. This (above) is one of hundreds of works from all over the world on sale for just €50 - but you won’t know who the artist is until you buy the postcardsized drawing. And it may not be an established artist. The items on sale iinclude work by the Munster rugby squad, Bono and Bruce and Patti Springsteen. The money raised by the Incognito auction will help

the Jack & Jill Children’s Foundation. All of the art can be viewed on a website and the online sale will start at 10am on Thursday May 28. The original artworks will be sold online on a first-clickfirst-served basis.   The artist’s signature will be on the back of the artwork.  “Here’s an opportunity to bag an original piece of art, which might turn out to be worth a lot more than the €50 sale price,” said said Bryan Bourke, managing partner

Cathasaigh, has welcomed the minister’s pledge and has urged the city and county council to push ahead with the planning. “As people begin to get back to work, we’ll see levels of traffic congestion in the city build again,” he said. “Many commuters who normally use the bus may not feel comfortable doing so, so building capacity for them to walk or cycle will give them another option.”

WATERFORD city has been promised new walking and cycling facilities and improved public transport. The move is a response from the Department of Transport to the Covid-19 crisis. It is aimed at better social distancing but the intention is to provide some facilities that will outlast the crisis. Minister Shane Ross says he is working with local authorities to develop “mobility frameworks” that will set out specific plans for widening footpaths, protected cycle facilities, new contraflow routes, and enhanced pedestrian priority zones. The first of these frameworks is being developed with Dublin City Council and it is intended to implement similar plans in Waterford, Cork, Limerick and Galway “The works identified will be funded through my Department’s sustainable mobility investment programme,” the minister told the Dáil.

RENTERS in Waterford could save more than €5,000 by getting themselves on the property ladder. The latest rental price report from Daft.ie reveals people in Waterford renting one, two, and three bedroom properties can be paying more than double the mortgage payment on the same property. But families renting homes with four or more bedrooms might be better off remaining in the rental accommodation rather than looking for a mortgage on a similar property. The average rent on a onebedroom property in Waterford City now stands at €762 per month. However, the mortgage comes in at just €306 per month - a €455 difference or 60% gap. The tenant could save €5,460 per annum by getting a mortgage on a similar property. In Waterford county rents

stand at €698 per month while the mortgage is just €348, a €350 difference or 51% gap. It’s a similar story with the city’s two-bed properties, where the average rent is now €842 per month, however, the mortgage stands at €399 – a difference of €443 or 35%. Those renting two-bed properties could save €5,316 per annum by buying a similar property. In Waterford county two-bed rents come in at €785 per month while the mortgage is just €408, a €377 difference or 48% gap. The rent on a city threebed stands at €971, while the mortgage on the property is €588 – a €383 per month difference or 40% gap. There are even greater savings to be made in the county. Rents on a three-bed stand at €905, while a mortgage is €323 less at €582, an annual saving of

€3,876. The Daft report shows that city landlords of four-bed homes are making just €36 a year by renting the property, receiving €1,070 per month on rent but paying €1,067 on the mortgage. In the county, landlords are receiving €998 per month rent on a four-bed but are paying €1,139 on their mortgage repayments - a loss of €1,680 per annum to the landlord. Owners of homes with five or more bedrooms in the city are also losing money. They are only getting an avetage of €1,194 per month on rent, while forking out €1,225 on the mortgage. In county Waterford, landlords of properties with five or more bedrooms are in the same boat ,getting €1,114 per month on rent, while paying a mortgage of €1,174 – a €720 loss over the course of a year.

The HSE’s Kate O’Connor provides practical advice for people living at home with long term health conditions during Covid-19 eople living with a long-term health condition may be more at risk of serious illness if they get coronavirus and need to take extra care to protect themselves. It is also really important that they continue to manage their long-term health condition at this time. A long term health condition is any that lasts longer than six months and that can be managed but not cured. Examples include Asthma, COPD, Diabetes, Heart Conditions and Stroke. During this time of uncertainty, our daily lives have changed a lot. If you have a long-term health condition you still have to do the things that help you stay well. • Set a daily routine. Get up, get dressed and get moving. • Continue to monitor your condition. • If your condition worsens call your GP or hospital to get the advice you need.

Right now it is more important than ever that people seek help early if their condition worsens. Both GPs and hospital teams are still there for all those who need them. The key messages for looking after your long term health condition are: • Continue to monitor your long-term health condition • Continue to take your medications • Mind your mental health • Eat well • Keep active • Stop smoking • Reduce alcohol intake Plan a daily routine which includes your checks. Responding to changes quickly helps keep your long-term health condition under control. Follow your care-plan if you have one. Medications Keep taking your regular medications. Make sure you do not run out of any medication. Talk to your GP or pharmacist if you have any concerns. Or-

der your medication over the phone so that it is ready for collection. Many pharmacies offer a delivery service. Or you can ask someone you trust or phone your Community Call helpline if you need help to collect your medication. Make a list of your medicines.

Humble Hawthorn – Magnificent Mayflower

My favourite Hawthorn tree near Newcastle (Photo: JC Ivory) Over the last couple of weeks the countryside has become adorned and lit up with an exuberance of snowy white blossoms. Hedgerows, field boundaries and trees seem to be dressed as for a wedding or a communion. What is responsible for this resplendent erumpent display? It is the Hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna). This native, deciduous tree, which in winter looks so stark, bleak, gnarly and tough with vicious thorns, in May breaks into wonderous blossom. The timing of its’ flowering gives rise to its more common name the Mayflower. It is the white blossom of the Hawthorn that Shakespeare refers to as “the darling buds of May” in one of his most famous sonnets – Sonnet No. 18: Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate: Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,

CARI MORA by Thomas Harris

White lines Netflix

Braveheart Streaming

From the creator of Hannibal Lecter and The Silence of the Lambs comes a story of evil, greed and the consequences of dark obsession. Twenty-five million dollars in cartel gold lies hidden beneath a mansion on the Miami Beach waterfront. Ruthless men have tracked it for years. Leading the pack is Hans-Peter Schneider. Driven by unspeakable appetites, he makes a living fleshing out the violent fantasies of other, richer men. Cari Mora, caretaker of the house, has escaped from the violence in her native country. She catches the eye of HansPeter as he closes in on the treasure. But she has surprising skills, and a will to survive.

Beautiful beaches, packed nightclubs and impulsive behaviour may feel out of reach for most of us at the moment, but new show White Lines is offering all of the above - with a bit of drug dealing and a historic murder thrown in for good measure. From the makers of popular Netflix show Money Heist, White Lines follows the story of Zoe Walker (Laura Haddock) who travels to Ibiza after her brother Axel’s body is found, 20 years after his mysterious disappearance.

It’s hard to believe that’s it’s more than 25 years since Mel Gibson swept into town and commandeered the army for this histroical epic but it’s certainly worth another look. Released on May 24, 1995, Gibson came into his own as a director with Braveheart, an account of the life and times of medieval Scottish patriot William Wallace and, to a lesser degree, Robert the Bruce’s struggle to unify his nation against its English oppressors. Featured a great turn too from Brendan Gleeson and a few other w ell-known Irish faces.

With the power and knowledge of generations behind them, the final battle commences. The film begins with Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) having ascended to the role of Supreme Leader of the First Order (a.k.a. the new Empire). He lands on a mysterious planet to track down transmissions that appear to come from the long-dead Emperor Palpatine (Ian McDiarmid, clearly relishing his return to the role). Even if “The Rise of Skywalker” isn’t the grand culmination you’d been hoping for, it’s still a diverting adventure.

The Darling Buds of May (Photo: JC Ivory) The Hawthorn is known by many names – Mayflower, Maybush, Quickthorn, Hagthorn, Haw, Maythorn, May, Mayblossom, Bread and Cheese Tree and the Fairy Tree. The Hawthorn has long been associated with the fairy folk in Irish folklore. Fairy rings and Hawthorn trees seem to go hand in hand. To this day you will see many a field with isolated Hawthorn trees and an untouched circle around it where the farmer dare not touch it for fear of incurring the wrath of the fairy folk. The Hawthorn’s genus name Crataegus comes from the Greek kratos, which means strength and refers to the hardness of the Hawthorn’s wood.

This docuseries gives a definitive account of Michael Jordan’s career and the 1990s Chicago Bulls, packed with unaired footage from the 1997-98 season. Some might remember the Bulls as a dominant, unstoppable force in the NBA. That wouldn’t be far off considering they won six titles in eight years and set a then-NBA record 72 wins in the regular season in 199596. But they did have a few challenges along the way.

CapricornResolve structural breakdowns with teams and committees. Confer with allies, and keep communication channels open. AquariusConsider professional assignments and opportunities. A challenge or competition requires dedication. PiscesGet adventurous. Get out and explore a curious subject. Can you mix business with pleasure? Enjoy classes, conferences and workshops.

In Loving Memory

9th Anniversary Johnny Tierney

Unseen and unheard but always near, So loved, so missed, so very dear

3rd Anniversary MIKEY O’CALLAGHAN

10th Anniversary LILY SIMPSON

27th Anniversary darren o’sullivan Softly the leaves of memory fall Darren, Gently I gather and treasure them all, Memories have such lovely ways, Of bringing back our yesterdays.

In loving memory of Rose Barry, late of 211 Clonard Park, Ballybeg, Waterford, whose anniversary occurs at this time and whose birthday occurs on the 15th of June, late of 211 Clonard Park, Ballybeg, Waterford. We cannot bring the old days back, When we were all together, Bur those we love don’t go away, They live with us forever. The gates of Heaven opened wide, The angels lined up side by side, A special guest was on er way, The day God called you home to stay. - Sadly missed and loved by your loving husband John xxx. Mother is a special word, A word that brings to mind, A warm smile, and helpful hand, A way of being kind, Devoted to the family, a word of patience too, Mother is a special word, Because it stands foryou. - From your heartbroken children Keith, Lisa, Emma, Paul and Richard xxx. Nanny, You showed us a lot of things, We learned a lot we didn’t know, But you forgot to teach us one thing, How to let you go. We know you didn’t mean to leave us Nanny, Sometimes we have no choice, But especially on this day, Most of all we really miss your voice. - Always remembered by your grandchildren Rachel, Shane, Leigha and Kayla, Dylan, Aime, Shauna, Katie, Cillian and Kelsey and your great grandchild Rhys xxx. Time slips by and life goes on, But from our hearts you are never gone, We think about you always, And talk about you too, We have so many memories, But we wush we still had you. - Always remembered by your brother Shea, sister in law Penny, Jamie and Matthew. Novena to the Sacred Heart Dear Heart of Jesus, in the past I have asked for many favours, this time I ask for this one special favour (mention favour). Take it Dear Jesus and place it within Your own broken heart, where Your Father sees it. Then in His merciful eyes it will become Your favour and not mine. Say this prayer for 3 days. Promise publication and favour will be granted. Never known to fail. J.P. PRAYER TO ST JUDE Most holy apostle St Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus. I am so helpless and alone. I implore you to bring visible and speedy help. Come to my assistance in this great need (ask for favour). I will be ever mindful of this great favour, to always honour you as my special and powerful patron. Amen. P.G.

2nd Anniversary Joe Mc Donald In loving memory of Johnny Tierney, whose 9th anniversary occurs on 22nd May. Mass will occur at a later date.

- Love and miss you always and forever, your baby sister Elaine xx To our beautiful Uncle Darren, Watch over us as we grow tall. In loving memory of Rosedale, Kilmacow and Connolly Place, whose 3th Anniversary occurs on the 21st of May. No more will we hear you call my name, Or hear you say those old refrains, And when old those old refrains, And when old times we do recall, That’s when we miss you most of all, Memories we keep one by one, Things you have said, Songs you have sung, They bring a smile often a tear, And always a wish that you were still here. - Loved and remembered Mickey, from you niece Ann and Mickey and Daryl, lots of love. Mikey, Just a prayer from the family who loved you, Just a memory fond and true, In our hearts you will live forever, Because w thought the world of you. - Loved and remembered Mickey, from your niece Tina and grandnephews Kieron and Darragh xxx.

Treasured memories of Lily Simpson (nee O’Callaghan), late of 56 Connolly Place, whose 10th anniversary occurs on the 25th May. She left is quietly, Her thoughts unknown, But left us a memory, We are proud to own, So treasure her Lord, In your garden of rest, For when on earth, She was one of the best. - From your daughter Ann, Son in law Mickey. Lots of love. Nanny, Of all the gifts in life However great or small, To have you as my Nanny, Was the greatest gift of all. From your grandson Daryl, lots of love. A mothers love is something no one can explain, It’s made of deep devotion of sacrifice and pain, My mothers love was all these things, It’s the greatest treasure known, And the greatest mother in all the world, Was the one I called my own, When God gave you to me, These are the things he forgot to say, Please try yo understand when I take her back some day, Oh God, it’s been so lonely, heartbreaking and so sad, But I will never forget to thank you, For the wonderful mother I had. - Loved and remembered Mam, from your daughter Tina xxx. Nan, For as long as we live, We will always be glad, For the loving Nan, we were lucky to have, Today, tomorrow, our whole life through, We will never forget our time with you. - Lots of love Nan, from your grandsons, Kieron and Darragh xxx.

5th Anniversary Kate Healy

In loving memory of our only son and brother Darren O’Sullivan, late of Windemere, Ballygunner More, whose anniversary occurs on 16th May. Just the average family, We don’t ask for more, Then life changed completely Darren, With that knock upon the door, This awful thing had happened, And none of us knew why, You were never coming back Darren, And we did not say goodbye, Our world just fell to pieces, We cried in disbelief, We had to stick together, To overcome our grief, We will never understand Darren, It seems so unfair, We wish we could hear your voice again, And see you standing there, We’d give the world just to say, We love you Darren, To you today. - Love always and forever, your heartbroken Dad and Mam xx God called your name so softly Darren, And only you could hear, And no one heard the footsteps, Of the angels drawing near, It broke my heart to lose you Darren, But you did not go alone, For part of me went with you, The day God called you home, You’re always close beside me, In everything I do, You were my greatest treasure, God’s gift to me was you. - Love and miss you always, Aisling xx To my precious brother Darren, If Heaven had a stairway, And memories were a lane, I would make my way to Heaven Darren, And bring you home again, For no one knows the heartache, That lies behind my smile, No one knows how many times, I have broken down and cried. I want to tell you something Darren, So there won’t be any doubt, You’re so precious to think of, But so very hard to live without. - Miss and love you always, Sinead To my dearest brother DJ Darren, I cannot get over losing you, I don’t even want to try, I will always keep you in my heart, Until the day I die,

In loving memory of Kate Healy (1976-2015). Daughter to Aiden and Paula, sister to Sue, Tommy and Laura and mother of precious sons David, James and Eoin Beloved to all of us. In our hearts, in our thoughts, in our most treasured memories, always and forever, darling Kate”

In memory of Joe “Maxi” Mc Donald who died on May 23rd 2018. The day you left and gained your wings, My heart just broke in two, I wish you could stay with me, But heaven needed you. You left with the memories, And I love you dearly still, No matter how much time goes by, You know I always will. You were a very special person, With kindness in your heart, And the love we had together, Grows stronger we’re apart. I know I can’t bring you back, Although I wish it every day, But a piece of me went with you, The day you went away. - Sadly missed by your loving wife Kathleen I cried when you passed away, I still cry today, Although I loved you dearly, I couldn’t make you stay. Your golden heart stopped beating, Hard-working hands at rest, God broke my heart to prove to me, He only takes the best. The world has many heroes, Some you’d know by name, They give their best of what they do, And they deserve their fame. But among of all the heroes, This world has ever had, There is no one I admired more, The one we called our Dad. - Sadly missed by your sons Ian, Daryl, Damien, Stuart and your daughter Sinead, your sister-in-law Vera and all your grandchildren & greatgrandchildren. Craig, Bradley, Jordan, Dylan, Ian Junior, Scott, Jayden, Kelsy, Keeva, Thomas and Great Grandchild Darla Novena to the Sacred Heart Dear Heart of Jesus, in the past I have asked for many favours, this time I ask for this one special favour (mention favour). Take it Dear Jesus and place it within Your own broken heart, where Your Father sees it. Then in His merciful eyes it will become Your favour and not mine. Say this prayer for 3 days.

Novena to the Sacred Heart Dear Heart of Jesus, in the past I have asked for many favours, this time I ask for this one special favour (mention favour).

Promise publication and favour will be granted. Never known to fail.D.G.

Softly in the evening, You heard a gentle call, You took the hand God offered you, And quietly left us all. The day you left us Our hearts just broke in two. The smallest part is still with us, And the biggest part with you. For the rest of our lives, We will miss you, Our secret tears will flow. Oh, how we really loved you, No one will ever know. We miss your smile, your joking ways, We miss the things you used to say. And when old times we do recall, It’s when we miss you most of all. You were always there when we needed you. No task too great or small, With loving heart and willing hands, For us you did it all. Look around your garden Lord, And when he turns and smiles, Put your arms around him And hold him for a while. - From your loving wife Mary. We lost a father with a heart of gold, How much we miss him can never be told, He shared our troubles and helped us along, If we follow his footsteps, We can never go wrong. - From your son Eugene May he rest in peace, dear Jesus, In thy heavenly home above, With the Sacred Heart of Jesus, In his own eternal love. Along the road to yesterday, That leads me straight to you, Are memories of happy days, Together we once knew. A silent grief that’s in our hearts, No human eye can trace, For many a broken heart is hid, Behind a smiling face. A light is from our household gone, A voice we loved is still, A place is vacant in our home, That never can be filled. May the God of love and mercy, Care for our loved one who is gone, And bless with consolation, Those left to carry on. Lonely is the home without you, Life to us is not the same, All the world would be like heaven, If we could have you back again. - From your loving daughter Samantha. MIRACULOUS, PRAYER TO ST. THERESA, THE LITTLE FLOWER O Glorious, st. Theresa whom Almighty God has raised up to aid and counsel mankind. I invite your miraculous intercessiodarraghn. So powerful are you in obtaining every need of body and soul, Our Holy Mother Church proclaims, you a prodigy of Miracles. The Business Saint of Modern Times, now I fervently beseach you to anser my petition (mention here) and carry out our promise of doing good upon earth, of letting fall from Heaven a shower of roses. Henceforth, Dear Little Flower, I will fulfil your plea to be made known everywhere and I will never cease to lead others to Jesus through you. Amen..D.P
