Clonroche/ Poulpeasty
SYMPATHY
The village and surrounding parish was deeply shocked by the death of Bobby Rochford, The Villas, Clonroche which occurred in a tragic accident after a house fire on Wednesday morning. Neighbours tried in vain to enter his home but unfortunately the fire was too intense. Bobby, well known around the village for his happy and cheerful disposition, also well known for his duties at Cloughbawn Church on a daily basis with which the Rochford family had long associations. Bobby will be sadly missed by all his neighbours and friends and we extend deepest sympathy to the Rochford family at this sad time. Ar Dheis Dé go raibh a anam SPLIT-THE-POT
