Getting ready for budget 2023! Hoping to see significant investment in education announced today.
A wonderful morning in Kildare town yesterday where the statue of Squires Gannon, the Captain of the all-Ireland winning Kildare team in 1928 was unveiled. This of course was the very first year of the Sam Maguire.
Two relations of mine Paddy and Joe O`Loughlin were on the team (pictured here with my cousin Mary, daughter of Paddy) What an emotional day for Bernadette Prendergast, granddaughter of Squires, and family. Huge congratulations to the local Committee, Round towers and Kildare Co Council!
