One is Patricia Hurley and Number 14 is Kay Kelly. Hope all is well. I check in on the web everyday and have my visual walk along the beach. Love all the updated photos. It shows how well the town looks with everyoneâ s hard work. I have just retired from the university and am enjoying my unscheduled time. Hope to visit next year. Delighted to see how well Shiela Reynolds and Mrs. Richardson look in photos. Recent photoâ s bring back a lot of memories. McCanns on the corner and Corcorans on the Hill where we got our ice cream and buckets and spades and the biscuits in the glass topped boxes, not to mention the ice cream floats sitting by the glass covered tables. Tell Jimmy HamiltonI found the e-mail he sent with photos when I was clearing off my files at work. Old boy scouts photos with my brother Joseph in them. I enjoyed listening to Mr. Geraghty who lived across the street from me and I love to watch the video from the roof of the hotel and also from the roof of Spicers. It just like I am really there. All the photos and information would make a wonderful museum of Balbriggan for generations to come. Thanks to everyone for all their hard work. It certainly means a lot to those of us who live so far away in America, Australia and every other part of the world. Best regards, Caith McEnaney/Fairley.

We appreciate it. :) Calling Jessica in Twickenham Hi, I've just recently comeback from a regular trip to see our remaining relatives in Balscadden. Whilst there we saw the work in progress at the Church and congratulations to all the many hardworking people in the village who worked tirelessly to raise the funds, prepare the church and clean up the graveyard and help with the refurbishment. It looks really great and quite frankly when I left, I didn't think that it could be finished on time. I've looked at the array of photographs, clearly a lot of people who did so much work in the background are too modest to appear on "camera" So well done to all those folks as well, On a slightly more sombre note relating to Balbriggan. We mostly stay in your lovely Bracken Court hotel and enjoy your town very much. This time however, we were particularly disappointed at the state and stench of your small fishing harbour. It is the worst condition that we have ever seen it, which is such a shame, since it such a quaint and interesting part of your town, not to mention a working contribution to your local economy. Please don't let it digress any further. Get it cleaned up and clear away all the unused derelict boats. It could still be such an attraction, especially with the seals now visiting.
