For many years he and his good friend Sonny Murray were the anchor of the Friday afternoon session. A loyal supporter of Comhaltas and the Summer Seisiun in Cois na hAbhna , he was a fine whistle player and played concert flute in his younger years. Reposing at Kennedy’s Funeral parlour , Ennis on Wednesday February 3rd. from 5pm. Removal to Clarecastle Church at 7pm. Funeral Mass in Clarecastle Church at 11am on Thursday February 4th . Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dilis.
