All now identified

FOLLOWING on from our callout for help identifying the people in this photo over the past fortnight, we now have the names of all those in the picture.

Thanks to an email from Michael Pattwell this week, we can now say that the picture shows Noreen Minihan, seated, with her husband Michael Minihan, left, and Fr Michael O’Cleary, right, both now sadly RIP.
