KILMEEN/KILBREE: Kilmeen and Castleventry parish priest Fr John Collins recently moved to Ballinora. A function was held on Thursday night to celebrate his time within the parish. Fr John was a great supporter of GAA and camogie within our parish. He had a genuine interest in upcoming fixtures, results, match reports etc. His departure has left a huge void in our parish and we will greatly miss him.
