SYMPATHY
The death occurred on Thursday, August 25, of Sonny (Bart) Furlong, Grange, Rathnure following a short illness. Well known over a wide area he was one of the oldest residents in the community and a true gentleman of deep faith. He enjoyed good health up to his illness and his energy and enthusiasm for life was an inspiration for all.
Deepest sympathy is extended to his wife Winnie, The O’Connor family, Duffry Hall, Mohurry (nephews and niece) and also to his sister-in-law Marie, nephews nieces, neighbours and friends. Interment took place in Rathnure cemetery on Saturday last following funeral Mass in Rathnure Church. May he rest in peace.
KILTEALY NS
Kiltealy NS re-opened today following the summer holidays with some new initiatives planned for 2016/17 school year. Although few of the children were excited heading out this morning there is much to be excited about in the coming months especially the ‘Funky Kids Club’ with Kiltealy N.S. being one of the first in Wexford to experience the much sought after kids programme which includes song, dance, art, speech and drama helping chil- dren develop their creative skills.
It will run for 10 to 12 weeks ending with a fantastic show coming up to Christmas with full stage lighting and effects. Also the development of a school garden for vegetable and herb growing is in the pipeline to add to the many initiatives already in place in the school.
