Callan Co. Kilkenny Ref. Edmund Rice Statue Unveiling Early 1950`s

KilkennyCallan (Kilkenny)

I am Alice O`Halloran and I was born at 3 Green Street in Callan in 1941

Please does anyone have Photographs of the above event. If so I would very much appriciate a copy. I would be pleased to pay any costs incurred. This could be sen via email or post

I was ten years old and remember the event well. I was at the front of the crowd but have no photographs of my childhood. I have contacted the Kilkenny People paper without success. It would mean a lot to me if anyone could help

My grateful thanks

Alice

Hello Alice,

Maybe you have slready got the information you are looking for, but if not I am suggesting another possible source. It is the Callan Historical Society.

Their website is: http://www.callanheritage.org where you will find further contact details for them.

Best of luck,

Paddy
