I am still trying to find out any information on my fathers Family. His name was John Clinch, He had a brother Joseph who was killed in WWI in the Royal Irish Reg. He had many sisters and another brother, James. His Mother and Father were Patrick and Julia Clinch. I believe ( but am not sure) they lived on Convent Lane. My Dad was born in 1894. I would appreciate any information I can find. Thank you so much.

spent my holidays in Balbriggan back in the 1960's in 33 High St Balbriggan. Grandparents home Mr & Mrs Thomas Cunningham. My mother is Ester Boyle (nee Cunningham) still living @ 85yrs of age in the Glens of Antrim. The rest of her family have all passed, Nancy, Monica, Nick and Maria. Great times there, Weldons next door and the Whites on up. Dad told us High St hill was the biggest hill in the world and we believed it. Sunshine Home behind the back garden, Buttercup icecream across the street and Kitty White's in the square. Somebody had a big black Cadillac and steam locomotives would come down the track backways. Grandad used to drive one of those! Dad worked for Northern Bank back then, said Mum was the best looking girl in town. I heard wonderful names like winkle-eyed Russell and the Daego Barnett. Dad played for Glebe North as goalkeeper. Grandad was a Pioneer - never touched a drop. We were proud of that but we didn't know why, we do now.

If Willie McMahon is a son of Peter McMahon & Mary Jane Whearity, then he is a first cousin of my grandfather Patrick Mcmahon.
My mother was Peggy McMahon of Clonard Street.
As I am researching the Mcmahon Family History, it would be great if Willie is related so I could use the information on Balbriggan net.

Tony,

Thanks for the old photos of Laragh House.  My mother's parents, Terry and Catherine O'Faoilsin, rented the house in the 1950s and my mother Grainne and her sister Nuals went to the Loreto.  My mam has fond memories of her life in Bslbriggan even though they moved on eventually.  I'm delighted to have the photos of the house to show her. She remembers apple trees st the back of the house, they were picked and stored in one of the bedrooms!

Hi, I am the nephew of the recently deceased Margaret Gilbert, Our family are from Portadown but we spent all our childhood summers in Balbriggan at "Auntie Margaret's house" where she and her husband Joe would welcome all our clan with open arms and wonderful hospitality. When I say "clan" there were sometimes 20+ people welcomed into their home at any given time. We could never repay their kindness and it was with sad but grateful hearts that we were able to watch her funeral from half way around the world via the live webcam in the chapel. She was a wonderful person and will never be forgotten.

If you could, I would really appreciate any additional photos of the Soap Box Derby, it was so much fun building and racing those wonderful machines, particularly the one sponsored by the Harbour Inn, beautifully painted by Fran from the same pub. The negotiations for the sponsorship were so much fun, if you can find a photo I'll tell you the story!

comment: I was born in Balbriggan and lived there for ten years in the 1950s.  During that time lots of dogs roamed the streets and barked during the night keeping everyone awake.  I noticed from your website that things have not changed.  Dogs are still roaming about and if I was younger I would apply for the job as Dog Warden in Balbriggan.
 
I live in Northampton and you very seldom see dogs roaming about because if they do the Dog Warden takes them to the Dog Pound or RSPCA and owners who turn up to collect them have to pay a fee.  Isn't it about time something like that happened in a now modern town like Balbriggan.

comment: I am looking at the photograph of the pioneers in 1935 and see my grandfather Tom Cunningham of 33 High St. My mother is Ettie Boyle who married Tim Boyle. He met her when he was posted to the Balbriggan Branch of the Northern Bank. Both are still living in Cushendall in the glens of Antrim aged 86 & 85yrs. We used to spend our holidays in Balbriggan going to Kitty White's for ice cream and down to the harbour to watch the boats come in. And racing up to the station to see a steam train passing. I think the Weldons lived next door and my aunt Monica lived in '33' with her husband Patsy up until their recent death's. The house was sold last year. When we were children we thought the hill on High St was the biggest hill in the world. Fishermen used to throw a hank of fish inside the front door on their way past coming up from the boats in the evenings. I have no doubt the residents of High St looked forward to the Boyle family arriving each year, all 10 of them spilling out of a car made for 4 and terrorising the whole street for a fortnight. I am sure none could wait the the calm to descent once again. Great days - gone.

comment: Hello
 
My father, Benedict Canty, born in Dublin in 1915, and lived in Balbriggen until he came to the US soon after his fathers (Lawrence Canty) house was burned by the Black and Tans.  I believe Lawrence was employed in the textile industry at the Smythe Company.  Others at the company were Mooney, Churchill, Orange, Brady, Hoben.  I would enjoy corresponding with any who have knowledge of that period or any related to the names listed.
 
Best regards,
Denis Canty

comment: The "P" the late Thomas Mc.Mahon who died on Sunday and was laid to rest on Tuesday after a beautiful and moving funeral mass in St.Peters. Tom was one of lifes gentlemen and to me a close personal friend.From our days in Hampton Mills with his brother-in law Tom Fanning (The Sailor) he had always kept in touch with me.Even after 41 years since i left my home town of Balbriggan. Known by everyone far and wide it was a pleasure to be in his company in Shelbourne Park on saturday night to see and hear him discuss with great knowledge the form of the respective greyhounds.Together with the "Skip Gilbert and Danny Cawley and the leading trainers it was a joy to be in his company.Generous and funny he will be terribly missed to very many people and in particular to his family,brothers and sisters. For me a part of my life has been taken away forever. I will miss you Tom.Rest In Peace. Timmy

comment: What is with all the Wavin photos? It's getting a bit boring now at this stage..
 
Another thing, With all the unemployed lazy people in balbriggan there should have been a better turn out for the tidy towns. After all these unemployed people are getting free money from the state so should be helping clean the town, it's only fair...They should be made to do some work, weeding, picking up rubbish for their SW payments..

I was always told George Harper was the foreman dyer at the lace factory having come from Arnold, Nottingham. I have Harper relatives in Balbriggan still. Its wonderful to find references to the Harpers.

I had a great 5 weeks there in 1988, visited on my honeymoon in 1993 and with my wife and 2 boys in 2006. I was really amazed how much it had changed when we there in 2006 and I'm sure it has developed even more since then. I would like to say hello "Slainte" to my uncle's and aunts and cousins from the Moore clan in the Craoibhin Park area and hope to see you in the not-too-distant future.

comment: A Micel Blount Buachaill os Eireann.
 
A man once said it's fact I read it in a book and the opposing arguement stated was the book fact or fiction ! I have no doubt whatsoever, if you state you met the two lads I have no rhyme or reason not to believe your snorkeling experience. One question though ? your asolutely certain it was Aruba and not Aranmore this encounter occured! Another question of you you if you don't mind the asking ? when the swimming lessons were over, I assume they showered and shampooe'd in head an shoulder's prior to attending the Taliban Miletone Go Go Disco  ! Did you by any chance ask them for a contribution for the elusive bench you've Bin searching ? for if so ! cad a harla leis na argaidh ? I believe the FBI " Full Blooded Irish", gave up on those lads long ago under strict instruction's from Whitey, that all effort's must now be focused on "Bin Working",although they've searched far and wide for this elusive charachter in the good old US of A there's still no sight nor sound from him. Should you however, on your next sojourn to the Andes in search of Bigfoot happen upon this lad, I would greatly appreciate notification for my own curiosity factor regarding same. I don't believe he will appear anytime soon in the cabbage patch off the coast of Scotland, but stranger things have happened, in so far as " the one time you think your absolutely certain you're right, albeit, is the one time were totally wrong, and the ships name was Murphy and her cargo was Spuds".

comment: I came to Balbriggan on holiday many times when I was a young man. From 1960 to 1966 I came with St. Francis Boys Guild where we camped,the first site being at the beach where a bandstand was built, then in a site nextto the tower and finally at a site next to the church. I can recall many happy hours in John Dempseys (J.Ds as we christened it )Some of the lads married local girls and settled in Balbriggan. My last visit was in 1990 but sometime in the near future I hope to visit the birthplace of my Grandfether in Belmullet Co/Mayo and if I can make it I will definately make a point of seeing Balbriggan for the finaltime. Looking forward to it.

comment: LOST DOGS MISSING DOGS

this seems to be a bit of a habit lost dogs missing dogs, found dogs ,and the best one of all, DOG SEEN NEAR POLICE STATION, why cant dog owners look after their dogs and not have them roaming around OFF the lead fouling the place? if the police were to come out once in a while and dish out a few fines to dog owners, or maby im BARKING up the wrong tree, excuse the pun. Message from Web Master. It doesn't matter if the dog is on a lead or not, dog dirt should be placed in a bin using a disposal bag like a nappy bag which cost € 1.00 for 200 bags. The town is filty with dog dirt but we always clean up after our dogs. Tony

comment: Grand website, great collection of photos.

Here's some constructive criticism though: the massive BALBRIGGAN.NET watermarks on the photos are really distracting and ruin a lot of the fantastic photos on the site, especially the older B&W and vintage photos.

Any chance of some subtlety?!

Great work all the same, keep the updates coming!

comment: in relation to the traffic lights on the square. there is honestly no point in having the traffic lights on the square. why now after so many years do we need them. plus with the new lights we no longer have a right turn up hampton street when coming down dublin street. is this the town planners way of having a joke at the expense of the people of the town. i've seen more potential accidents since the new ligths were installed than when they were not there. the sight of a lone car sitting at the lights waiting for a green light in the middle of the night is hilarious. was this what the planners were looking for. what an absolute waste of money. remove them and let us never speak of the joke lights ever again

Are we not banjaxed enough without wasting more money on something so utterly stupid and unnecessary? Blocks up Hampton St., queues down the town,,, stupid, stupid, stupid!! Where's that stupid little hamster 'till I smack him in the mouth!

" Little old wine drinker me" sometimes they us a mixture of fruit complimented with blossoms to create this beverage Merlot et al,and the Dail has an ample supply of these, " Fruit cakes and Tulips " to compete with the best of the French and Californian growers. I was walking through the park with my brother Tim, when someone threw a tomato at him, tomato's don't hurt said my brother Tim, but this one did ! it was inside a tin. You'd have to laugh Mick it's a comedy of errors on a grand scale. Here's wishing you and your's and all at home laughter for 2011. Sammy.

comment: hi tony regarding lights on the square.iwould like to know the reason for no right turn?if i or anyone else wants to go to high street we have to go down quay street and up high street hill.A lot of drivers still turn right. i think a filter light would have been more appropriate turning right rather than left into vauxhall place.thanks tony for all your good work

comment: Thanks to Martin Richardson for his reply about the Tinleys owning a shop in Clonard Street. I remember a shop at that spot but I think it was called Courtneys in my day (60'S 70'S)and there was another one accross the road that we went to when visiting my grandmother in Clonard St.
I am still looking for decendants of John McMahon & Mary ann Tinley married in 1881 and had 8 of a family: John, Owen, Sarah, Peter, Patrick, Mary, Catherine & Joseph, living in Clonard St.
John born 1856 in Derrynoose Co.Armagh was the son of Owen & Sarah. Siblings were Peter, Mary, Sarah, Catherine, Bridget,Ann,Owen, Theresa & Patrick.
Family came to Balbriggan in 1870'S.
Maryann Tinley was born 1860? died 1905 Any little bit of info would be greatfully appericated.

Does anyone have any pics from the birdshow that used to be held in the Town Hall in December each year ? Also, seeing a post there from the Conk Wherity made me think of the good old Al Capone Disco with the Conk, the Mousey and even the great Malo himself on the turntables in the Town Hall or in O'Dwyers. We should hold an Al Capone revival.

comment: Tony, I still check balbriggan.net most days. Loved the photos of fall colours and the high tide. The town looks so well from all the hard work and investment of the people. Everyone should be so proud of how the town has improved and grown since I grew up there. It is a remarkable achivement. I have the photo of the fall colours outside Wavin, just by Millers Lane as my screen Saver. so it certainly makes me feel I am going to walk out my front door and find myself there!! Barry Geraghty took a great photo. All the others of the high tide and the night photo with the lights down to the mountains of Mourne make me pretty homesick. Is Barry Geraghity the son or grandson of Mr. Geraghtiy who lived across the street from us in Clonard Street? Wonderful Photos. Thanks for all you do. I know that all of us abroad really appreciate you and all the teams hard work in keeping the webpage up and running. Happy Thanksgiving from all of us in the US and Merry Christmas to anyone I know. I have seen many familiar faces this past year- the late Shiela Reynolds(RIP), Mrs. George Richardson, Pam Regan-Colm. Owen Callaghan, the reunion in Clonard Street, etc. Sometimes I recognize the faces but cannot always remember the names. Best regards, Caith.

comment: I enjoy having a look at the site from time to time and passing on information to other members of the family. The historical links are especially treasured; my family emigrated to England in the 1950s but we kept in touch with relatives and spent many holidays back in 'Bal', which my parents Joe and Rita Curtis always called 'home'. The aerial photos are a real treasure, I spotted a few places I knew in childhood. And the Pathé news footage is also very interesting - my parents spoke of the sacking of Balbriggan as other things that happened in the Troubles. Thanks for doing a great job!

comment: I AM SEARCHING MY ROOTS. MY GREAT-GRANDPARENTS WERE JAMES HARTFORD AND CATHERINE MAY. I HAVE A LETTER DATED 22 JUNE, 1904 FROM DERMOTSTOWN ADDRESS TO THEM "DEAR KATE AND JAMES" I CANNOT MAKE OUT WHO SENT THE LETTER. THE WRITER REFERENCES SEVERAL PEOPLE FROM THE AREA. EXAMPLE: TOM McQUILLEN BEING DEAD AND BURIED TWELVE MONTHS NOW. BRIDGET HAGAN BEING MARRIED TO CHRISTY CASEY OF DALAHACY. JOHN DUNNE OF DALAHACY IS MARRIED TO ONE OF THE ??? OF THE KNOCK. WILLIAM McNALLY IS NOT MARRIED YET. MRS. HARTFORD OF BALGEE AND ALL HER FAMILY IS QUITE WELL. MRS. DANIE REILLY IS DEAD AND BURIED. THE SIGN OFF IS VERY BLURRED AND SCOTCH TAPED - I THINK IT MAY BE ROBERT ??
DERMOTSTOWN, BALGRIGGAN, 60 DUBLIN, IRELAND.
ANYONE OUT THERE WHO MAY SHED LIGHT? MY GREAT=GRANDPARENTS = JAMES AND CATHERINE MAY HARTFORD. THEY HAD TWO CHILDREN = JOSEPH AND AGNES (MY GRANDFATHER AND GREAT AUNT) - I DON'T KNOW IF THEY WERE BORN HERE IN THE USA OR IRELAND. THEY SETTLED IN BROOKLYN, NY. I SEARCHED THE NEW YORK CITY ARCHIVES FOR THE BIRTHS OF JOSEPH AND AGNES HARTFORD (1895-1897) AND NO RECORDS WERE FOUND. THIS LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT JOSEPH AND AGNES WERE BORN IN IRELAND AND CAME TO THE US AS VERY YOUNG CHILDREN.ANYONE OUT THERE WHO MAY RECOGNIZE ANY NAMES FROM LONG AGO WHO COULD SHED LIGHT. MY MOTHER, FLORENCE HARTFORD KENT IS NOW 86 AND THE LAST OF JOSEPH HARTFORD'S FIVE CHILDREN. THERE ARE NO MALES
LEFT IN THE FAMILY LINE AND I FEAR THE HARTFORD LINE WILL SOON BE FORGOTTEN. I AM DOING THIS SEARCH FOR MY TWO DAUGHTERS AND MY GRANDCHILDREN. I FEEL IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO KNOW YOUR ROOTS - WHERE YOUR PEOPLE CAME FROM.

comment: A few years ago I had the pleasure of visiting Ireland. We traveled to many lovely places, Waterford, Dublin and many side trips in villages whose names escape me. By far, personally, I enjoyed our days spent in Balbriggan most. We stayed locally in a lovely townhome near the High Street. I believe the address was Church Street, in a develpoment called Laragh. Two wonderful people, Lomey and Gus greeted us, as they had the keys and gave us a great welcome. I am wondering if anyone here knows of this couple and if the Sunshine House/Bosnia Shop is still operating. I am planning another visit and want to spend the entire time in your lovely town. I welcome anyone with information regarding the couple as well as anyone willing to chat with a reasonably sane, :-), American who can't wait to return to what I believe is a most extraordinary place. Cheers!

comment: Hello Balbriggan.net,
Can I say how much this site means to me, I love it. I log in every morning at 7.30 before I go to work. I was disappointed that the Guest book wasn't updated for a while but lately is has come alive and I always judge a web site by how active the Guest Book is. A web site with no Guest Book, is a dead web site. Can I thank all of you who are involved with B.net as it means so much to us living abroad. Keep up the good work lads, I've never seen a site like it. Margaret.

As I grow older there is nothing more pleasureable than a long walk along the coast line up the Skerries Road with the sound of the Sea on one side and the sound of the Trains commuting on the railway tracks. Keep up the good work on the site as it is very informative and enjoyable to read.

Thanks to everybody for their congrats messages to Darren and myself, we thought our news travelled fast (and it was pretty damn fast to reach our friends back home withibn minutes). We wanted to tell you all in person but we did'nt make it home (3rd time unlucky) due to the ash cloud fiasco. We promise to come and see you guys (you know who you are) when we fly back from Greece on 17th June so stock up on food & beers as plenty to catch up on. Love to my mam Harriet & my sister and the family in Laytown and we look forward to seeing you all in two weeks....Darren & Edelle xx

comment: Hello

I was born in Balbriggan square on the 25th August 1929.

My father, Billy Lewis, was the only barber in the town and had his shop in the square next to the old cinema. My mother Connie Reed, worked in Whites papershop, also next to the old cinema.


My grandfather Jack Reed owned farmland at Tanners Water, not far from the Mill Lane.
He had 4 sons and 5 daughters.
When he died the funeral procession was stopped on the Dublin Road, on its way to Balrothery cemetry by the Black and Tans, who insisted that the coffin be opened so that a check could be made that no weapons were being carried.

My family eventually moved to Dublin, where my father continued his profession and set up 3 further barber shops.

It has been an absolute pleasure to discover this website and it has brought back many fond memories of my child hood in Balbriggan.

Many thanks
Ray Lewis

I'd also like to thank you for all the time & effort you put into creating and maintaining this website. My dad (Joe McEnaney from Clonard Street)monitors it I'd say daily and prints out the stories that would interest my mum (Rita Carton) to keep her up-to-date. So again, a special thanks to you Tony, and to everyone whose input makes this such a great website! I wish someone in my town here would catch your enthusiasm!

Hi,

A long time ago(let's say 14 years ago!!) I spent a couple of months in Barlbriggan, it was my first real experience abroad and I wanted to thank you all for that.
Also... during my stay there I met someone named Ruairi Brennan (he used to live in hampton cove)... I was wondering if any of you have his actual contact. It would be great to catch up.
Thank you! fantastic site.
If anyone has some information about him please contact me at: zaspikale@gmail.com

Happy St. Patrick's Day to all in the town. There was a nice buzz about the place today.

Thanks for the photo of the milestone showing 'Drogheda 8'. Where is it, and does anyone know how old it is (obviously very, but it would be interesting to know).

Keep up the good work on the site - it is really interesting and a great place to catch up on Balbriggan news and people.

comment: Efflorescence, Art on Railway street. Well I am glad its not just me because I also thought it was a total waste of money. The idea was there, but they should have painted on the name "Smyth & Co, Hosiery Company 1780-1980" or something to that effect. I agree with the lady who said it looked like scaffolding with plastic over it. Most people had to be told what it was all about whereas with lettering on it would have made a huge difference.

comment: I have'nt visited the site in a few weeks and I am such a big fan but I was pleasantly surprised to see that I am not the only one who feels that there is a lack of irish spirit and tradition in some places of our lovely town. It was only this time last year that I was praising and enjoying such a wonderful parade and I must say the organisers do such a fantastic job every year. It really brings the locals and other community members together in the town for probably the only time in the year. We should be proud of this event and the support of this should not stop with only the parade goers and sponsors. It takes such a huge effort to achieve such a succesful result. But what I will say is that after the lovely parade the spirit continues in the local pubs who I was ashamed to see last year very very few had played any contribution in keeping the spirit going. I really think St.Patricks Day is a time that they benefit extremely well from punters and it would'nt take a lot to provide a little bit of Irish cheer to acompany the uisce beatha. I was very disappointed last year and it has not gone unnoticed to just me I am glad to see. It's like everything in life 'if you don't use it you lose it' and custom of a premises definitely falls into that category for me. Thanks to all the organisers of the parade and to the premises which have already played a great part including the hotel which looks lovely and the Bridal shop. I saw a few white baloons outside the millrace tonight and could be tempted to pop my head in there tomorrow, which may I mention is a wonderful new establishment in the town and should they continue with their efforts shall remain so for a long time we hope. It would be great if Moriarty could put a few flags on his empty flag poles up outside supervalu seeing as it is on the parade route. Slainte to you all

While I am not a true local but have lived in the town for 23 years I would like to say I would agree with the other comments about St Patrick's day and the lack of irish tradition in the town. I also admire the bridal boutique on the square it is a credit to the owners and other businesses should take note. I will be out and about on St Patrick's day and will be sure to have a beer in a decorated premises. Well done to the hotel I will be sure to call and have a beer with family and friends credit where credit is due.

comment: Hi Tony,

This A reply to slainte aine's comment. I think she is absolutely right and the pubs and other businesses should put in the time and effort of decorating the premises.
I have noticed in the last few years that in some of the pubs there isn't even a banner nor a shamrock. I think we should keep our Irish tradition going. The empire state building is green for saint patricks day as is the sydney opera house and the London eye. The parade in Balbriggan is a great success and thanks to all who participate also thanks to the organisers. Alot of the locals who are out and about on St.Patricks day usually go on to have a few drinks in the local pubs and its a discrace that these pubs have no decorations up for the occasion but are quick to take their custom. These pubs know who they are and they should be ashamed of themselves but on the other hand some premises have really pushes the boat out with the irish festivals, Fair play to them!

Hope the pubs do better this year and great thanks to Tony for taking all of the beautiful pictures of Balbriggan.

Kay

Alot of negative comments about our lovely town I noticed. I would just like to say how impressed I was when I walked down the square at the wonderful shop window display for St Patrick's day it would make you proud to be Irish, lets hope all the other business premises in the town will do likewise. Well done to all who take part in keeping the St Patrick's day tradition alive, a nicely decorated pub creates a lovely athmosphere to have a nice pint with family and friends and a bet at Cheltenham sounds like a great day out. Great photos of harbour now maybe its time to get middle of the town revamped alot of shabby buildings after the beautiful hotel.Town looking well from the church to the Square keep up the good work Tony you are a gem

Tony you're a real pro and as I told you that day we witnessed a historic day!
Here's hoping it won't end there and some resources and manpower can be pumped into Seapoint lane(the potholes are a joke)and the back beach area.
Maybe "Home" could clean up it's act and get painted and remove the bin loads of empty bottles that are just left sitting in full sight.What a pity the very jewel of the town ie the harbour and two beaches are so neglected.Regards....... Roisin Mollahan

comment: Hi Tony,

I'm gonna add my twopence worth to Carla's comments and the dog poo stink. But before I do I just want to thank you again for your great work especially the interviews and slide shows you did with my dad Christy.

Anyway, to Carla, what would life be like in Balbriggan or any other town if everything was hunky dory all the time? Life would be boring if we were all nice all the time wouldn't it? Some people can see no fault whatsoever in Balbriggan, mad as that may sound, but that's their opinion. Most people will look through rose tinted glasses at some time in their life. But you are right 100% in what you said, because it is your opinion, and if one has an opinion about anything at all it has to be 100% in their mind. I can't criticize you for having an opinion and it did not upset me one jot. I was born in Balbriggan 53 years ago and still live there now and to be honest, although I love Balbriggan it is not perfect by any stretch of the imagination. As for being a "true local" (not your comment I know), what is that all about? As far as I'm concerned if you live in a town you are a local. What's the "true" bit? I'm at least a 4th generation Balbriggan man and I don't see myself any different to say someone who has moved to the town, two years ago. We both chose to live in Balbriggan and that makes us local. So all of the "true local" rubbish should be sent to the deleted items bin. Enough said on that I think.

Now for the dog poo debate. There are a huge number of dog owners (I'm not one) in the town and I have seen owners pick up after their dogs have done their business and owners walk away and leave it behind. In fact I've seen owners take their dogs onto the cricket pitch behind the church so that they can empty their bowels on the pitch. I can name some of these people and will do to the Gardai and Fingal Co Co the next time I witness it. So beware you dog poo litterers. I'm sure I speak for the majority of people (especially non dog oweners) when I say, "CLEAN UP YOU DOGS MESS" it's not fair on the rest of us.

Finally, it seems most of the dogs in Balbriggan are scared of heights. What are you on about I hear you say? Well if you walk across the the railway viaduct ( or prom as it's know to "true locals" haha) you will see that all the dog poo is in liquid form, they obviously (I'm sorry Tony I know you said keep it clean) shit themselves while walking at such a height. Dam hard to clean that up with a doggie bag, so maybe the dogs should be blind folded or carried or wear a nappy going across. Anyway, that's my twopence worth, more like € 50's worth really.

Keep up the great work Tony & co. and don't forget to get a picture of the lighthouse when it's painted. After all, as one of your earlier contributors to the guest book said, "true locals" started a "paint our lighthouse" campaign, and I'm sure they'll appreciate a glorious full colour 12 trillion megapixel photo on your site to show the result of their tireless work in finally achieving what they set out to achieve. My tongue is firmly stuck to my cheek as you can imagine.

All the best

Tommy Geraghty

comment: Hi all,
As a huge dog lover and the owner of two dogs can I make a suggestion with regard dog poo. I bought 100 nappy sacks ( small scented bags) in Tesco for 1.00 euro and I always bring these with me and if the dogs leave a package, I use the scented nappy bag to pick it up and bring to the nearest bin or dog pooper station in the town. It's as easy as that so I can't understand why all dog walkers don't do likewise. This seems to be the best option as I see in the latest publication of "The Fingal News" that the council can no longer provide free pooper scoopers but will provide an empty bin for dog walkers. I have just noticed that their motto is "Pause & Think-Clean it up" maybe they should have "Paws & Think". So, a final plea to all dog walkers, please bring a small disposal bag or nappy bag and clean up after your dog.

comment: In response to the town walker, I am totally wih him / her on this matter.
I myself walk every evening and I am disgusted at the amount of dog owners I see allowing their dog to relieve themselves and who just keep walking without cleaning up after their dog.
I think it is disgusting and would hate to see the condition of these peoples houses if they are happy to allow their dogs to foul and not clear up after them.
I would also suggest that the litter warden / fingal co co get their finger out and firstly fill the pooper scooper thing they have near the church and next erect a few more around the town in order to give people NO excuse not to clean up after their pet..

comment: Dear Balbriggan.net
I have just finished reading the letter about dog poo I could'nt agree with your reader more. The pavement outside my home in Pinewood Green is a regular path for dog owners taking their dogs up to the fields. I have never once seen any dog owner clean up after their dog. I regularly have to go and clean outside my home or dog poo would be trampled all over my home. Also parents must be sick of cleaning their kids shoes as it is also the route to the local shop and St. Teresa's school. From what I have seen there are very few responsible dog owners.
Yours sincerely Bernie

comment: Just a quick line regarding some responses about Carla & her feelings towards our town. She is allowed to have her own views about Balbriggan good or bad & by reacting negatively towards her you are only proving her views towards us are correct. Balbriggan is not the small town we grew up in & has changed a lot. It has its good days & bad days & does not always smell of roses. I love this town but there are some places that make me feel like I am a stranger & shouldnt be there, & I am not just talking about the new areas. This site is supposed to promote the town & if people start using the site to pick on people just because of their views Carla may be right & I hope she isn't.

comment: Could I ask a question of Mr Joe Flanaghan?

Can he define what a 'TRUE LOCAL' is in relation to status in Balbriggan? What does one have to do to gain it? How does one qualify for it? How long do you have to live there to be conferred with the title of a 'TRUE LOCAL'? How many generations of your family living in Balbriggan does one need to gain this badge of honour? If you marry into one of the 'Local Families' does that give you automatic membership of this exclusive club? Better still, if one of your children marries into one of the 'Local Families' does the honour automatically pass to all of your family . . . ?

Does the title give you any benefits? YES

You are entitled to address any male in the town you know, by the expression 'our lad'

If you have nine consecutive generations from the town - you are allowed to shorten the above - by addressing everyone as 'our'

Male members of your family are given an extra 'name' to help distinguish them from 'NOT-TRUE-LOCALS'

(examples are: HOBBLES; WAG; WAB; WAM; BANTY; GLICK; SHERIFF; CHEYANE; SKI; SNIGGY; NAWZI; BEAR; MIDDLERS; DUCKSIE; DIT; DOT; NUDIE; BOOTS; CHICO; WAW-WAW; WUDGIE; BUDGIE; BULLY; STAFF; LOCKO; COLLEGE; CLANGER; BELLIES; BRUNO; BANSH; DAGO; ROASTER; GUNCHIE; NAIL; FLASH; RUA; ROOKIE; RUGGA; BLACKIE; BUNBH; EMPTY; DUCK; BAMMY; RIP VAN; BET; BIG BIRD; RANGER; SHOVELS; THUMPER; BOGGA; SKINNY; SKETCHER; GRANVILLE; STUFFER; BOSS; BRECKSIE; FROSTY) the list is endless . . .

which is why we know that Joe Flanaghan is not a 'TRUE LOCAL' - if he was he would be called Joe 'REX' Flanaghan . . .

You:

Can you park your car on the footpath on the main street and not get a ticket?

Can you reverse your car onto the main street and not get penalized for it?

Can Make a 'U' turn especially at the junction of Station Street and Drogheda Street - dispensations especially for 'TRUE LOCALS'?

Can park your car in one of the estates near the train station and not worry about the consequences for the inhabitants of that estate - special permits granted to 'TRUE LOCALS' only?

Can cycle on the footpaths and expect pedestrians (especially infirm and older ones) to get out of the way?

Can overfill your Green Bin and not worry about the consequences?

Can work and still draw the dole?

Can walk your dog/s down by the beach and not have a muzzle on it? Or worse still - not have it on a lead?

Can Ignore the ridiculous sign (down near the beach) which says 'Owners of Dogs who soil or mess in public and who do not clean up after them' will be fined â ¬1,500 - does anyone know if such a fine has ever been imposed or collected?

Can dump rubbish in black bags down at the car-park beside Balbriggan Town FC's club-house?

Can break the speed limit on the Skerries Road and get away with it?

Can enter RC Church car park through the 'NO ENTRY' signs (particularly) every Sunday?

Are allowed to leave your mobile phone on in the Church during Mass, Funerals, Weddings and Christenings?

Can Moan non-stop about the present crisis and all the past ones - and yet vote for FIANNA FAIL in every General Election?

I am sure that some of the owners of the oft-mentioned wrecks in Balbriggan Harbour are possibly 'TRUE LOCALS' - what do we do then?

I could go on but . . .

comment: Very saddened to hear of Richie's passing. I remember working in what was the Harbour Inn, (Now Balbriggan Pharmacy opposite Deli Buurger), when he and Nancy started going out. I used to serve them drink! We used to have a great laugh. He was a lovely fella, and even when I lived in the UK, when I would meet him on visits home, whenever that may be, he always had a warm greeting with his champion smile. Great guy. Nancy, please receive my condolences for yourself and Kayleigh. Rest in peace old son.

comment: Long time visiter to the site since before I moved here 18 months ago. great site to keep up to date on local matters; On the lighthouse project I think the wrecks add character to the harbour; Maybe leave one for that reason; they have been there for so long it wouldnt be the same without them. Dont remember a dome so cant comment on that.

comment: What a fantastic website! I have just seen a photo in your archive news of my father Sean Reilly's shop in Drogheda Street. It was 18 Drogheda Street, next door to Charlie Corr's. I was born in the room above the shop in 1957. My mother Betty ran the shop. She was a Cross on her father's side, a Corcoran on her mother's. Sadly she passed away last year. My father died six years ago. I remember the shop well, I used to sit on the step and watch the world go by. Balbriggan was such a small town then, we knew everyone. Today 18 Drogheda Street is the Spar supermarket. I also saw a picture of my great-uncle Coffe Corcoran on your site, he fished on the Avoca. I remember as a child running down to the harbour and he would tie plaice to a string for me to bring home for our tea. I am trying to find out more about the Corcoran side of the family, I believe they go back a long way in the history of Balbriggan. Thankyou for such a tremendous website.
Best wishes,
Miriam O'Reilly (my father added the O' to our name when we came to England in 1964.

Our last fun night together was 16th March 2009 in McCormicks Balbriggan Karen McGuires birthday. We were the last ones to clear the pub, they had all the cleaning done before they ran us. Local Balbriggan I love it. You are both in my heart with thoughts prayers and love, God Bless, Jenny.

I'm really sorry I canâ t be there at this time. Richie was a very good friend to me over the last twenty years in the Camp.
The Camp will certainly be a lesser place without him.
