Fence broken down A section of the concrete post & rail fence (left side) at the end of the way into the Cemetery was broken down- 2 posts uprooted, some rails smashed. This spot has been used to tip the cut grass, but is being used (without permission) to dump concrete kerbs, etc. from graves being refurbished & waste from where new headstones are erected. We wish to know who is responsible for the damage to the fence. Please if you saw activity there, or when you noticed the fence broken, please contact Fr. Caulfield.

Successful Rooskey Mobile Phone Appeal The success in achieving the target of 500 phones- to exchange for a defibrillator- owes to the determination of the women & men who went door to door, & by their family in other places, managing to prompt a response to yield almost 200 & make up the shortfall in time. Thank you to all who delivered, sent in or posted the phones. Congrats to Committee.
