Crotta GAA wished to express sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Tom Mahony Lower Tullig, Kilflynn, Tom was a passionate Crotta man who loved his sport and always lent his support to the club in every way possible down through the years. A founding member and bodhran player of the Crotta Wren group or the biddy as it started out as. A wonderful festive tradition which still exists to this day, one which has many fond memories for all musicians as well as the many families and households the group visited along the way.
Kilflynn Community provided a guard of honour for the late Tom Mahony’s on Tuesday evening as his funeral cortège passed through Kilflynn village. The Crotta Wren group performed a musical tribute to Tom as a mark of respect to one of the group’s founding members.
To Tom’s family, neighbours and friends we offer our deepest condolences. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.

Lourdes Helpers Lourdes Helpers Collection: A special diocesan collection in aid of those who assist as helpers with the Lourdes Pilgrimage will take place next weekend, 8th/9th February. This year the Pilgrimage takes place 10th -15th June. The Pilgrimage has changed in many ways over the years but the main purpose is still the same, to take the sick to Lourdes and for this we need helpers. Many are students and thus require help to finance the trip. This collection goes towards that effort. The Lourdes Helpers Fund also helps assist pilgrims who may not be able to afford to pay the full fare and would like to go to Lourdes. Your support is greatly appreciated.
