WHERE IS THE PLAQUE FROM TADY O’CONNOR’S GRAVE?
Fr. Kevin talked about its disappearance at Masses last weekend in the hope that the plaque would be returned but there is still no trace of it. Tady, God rest him was very well liked and would be termed as a ‘character’ in the village. He lived next door to Paddy and Cathy Kennelly. He was in his 50’s when he died on March 14, 1994. His neighbours and friends funded the plaque on his grave to honour his memory. Do you know anything about it? If you do will you please make sure it’s returned to its home in Old Knockanure Graveyard.
