VILLAGE

the road to Aughris Head, take a left at the crossroads

population of about 400, but now all that remains is
a legacy of the ravages of emigration on the district.

in the Sunday Press about 20 years ago. The article
was written by Cormac McConnell and recalls the reminiscences
of the late Sonny Finnegan, RIP and Cissy Martin, RIP,
a returned emigrant from New York. |
