The above is the newest addition to the family of my daughter Glenda and her husband Edward and one of my ten grandchildren.He is a grand goson and is the spit of his father.He was christened last Sunday in Dunderry Church by Father Hornick ,who did a wonderful job as usual.
The godparents are our Finn and Susan Maguire.
There was a full turnout of both families both in the Church and at Dunderry Lodge afterwards ,where a most enjoyable meal was had by everybody.The more adventurous of us had a few jars in Horan's Emporium afterwards.Went down well and Nance in mighty form.
Reports that a bright star was observed in the sky at the time of his birth and that camels driven by princes bearing gold frankincense and myrrh were dismissed as fanciful by most ,but not all of the attendance.
His existence has further strengthened my resolve to continue the Friday contemplation in Dunderry Church from 6.00 to 6.30 P.M so that the fear and hopelessness afflicting most people is banished and our leaders act in our interest and resurrect some vestige of compassion for ordinary people.
Given the meanest stroke ever pulled on poor Catholic kids by Joan Burton today,which limits the spend of the State for those families totally reliant on the State for First Communicants and Confirmation to E100.00 for the occasion I don't hold out much hope of this happening anytime soon.
What next,the slaughter of the first born?
Senan is lucky to have such great family support.We will ensure he does not grow up a slave.
