CONGRATULATIONS - Emma & Alier.
WEDDING: The Morrissey family, Coolruss have a extra busy household, since Emma and Alier arrived home with their adorable twin girls. Added to that, Emma had her wedding planned for August.

We send our very best wishes to the new Mr & Mrs Ajuong & family, with the hope that the years ahead will be filled with lasting joy and unending happiness - may your troubles be few and your blessings plenty.

3 HAIL MARYS: A Comedy coming to the Lime Tree this Thursday & Friday, 27th ,28th Sept. This nursing home experience will have you in tears of laughter and is the work of Tommy Marren – writer of the hit comedies ‘It’s the Real McCoy’ and ‘Nobody’s Talking To Me’. We join the residents of St. Mary’s nursing home on a very special Friday. Some of the residents are being moved to new nursing homes in different parts of Ireland and for Mary O’Toole, Mary O’Neill and Mary O’Brien it’s the end of an era. For over ten years they’ve lived together in the nursing home and despite memory lapses, the odd tantrum and a lot of confusion they have become almost inseparable. These 3 Hail Marys are no ordinary Marys!
