Guth & Tuairim, Márta 1980

EA&ARA bT llllllllll,lllllllllllllllllllllllfl!llllllllllllllllllllllllll~ ( . 2 rn~H~9h-~~ff l . Some time ago a group of men from a big Italian !'il'lll visited Mullaghduff Banks the land of the Gallagher Brothers Francie and Mickey, looking for a site to build their neW factory. Their Engineer inspected the site and passed it as suitable but the brothers told them they could offer an alternative site ~f they wished because they own about 110 ac.res there, and contrary· to reports and gossip planning permission liAa. been granted. . They were on to Ta se doiligh a chreidbheail go bhf'uil muid choir a bheith bliain d'aois (thainig an chead eagran de "Guth 7 ':J::uairim" amach i m! Aibreln 1979). It has bee!l a mCff!t; .interesting year and we made a lot of ·mistakes hUt also learned a lot. At long last we feel we are getting places - sales are steadily increasing and we are getting a better response from ;; the public with every issue. We have outlived all previous local papers, but - a word of warningt The future looks very tough indeed, in the aftermath of the Budget and the ever increasing costs. Ach ta me cinnte go bhfaighidh muid taca:focht i gcona! uaibhse - . an pobal. We now welcome more new readers, this time in Leeds and in London. · Gaeltarra Eireann to have the Air..atrip extended to · 25,000 feet. This factory will be a great boost to the area and is expected to give between 200 and 300 jobs.

Anagaire With St. Patrick's day just around the corner the local bands are busy practicing and looking forward to the various c.ompetitions between now and" September. Kevin.-0 1 Hara, the American who walked around Ireland with his donkey and cart received great hospitality when he was in this area. Cissie Devenney says of the night he stayed with them, "He slept in the bedroom while his ass slept in the byre". Annagry Athletic Club organised a very successful coach trip to Limerick last_ 1 weekend. In charge of the trip were Terri 0 1 Do~ell and Ann McBride. The three hours shopping in Galway was very much appreciated by the aa.le members on the trip. That advice le~st month about using coal for drying turf in the oven is not such a go~ idea after all. The chap involved nearly put his house on fire (it wasn't the Leim an tsionnaigh man either). Some local farmers are already hard .at work notably John Winnie and James J. 0' Donnell. Another strange taste has developed among Annagry's dog population. Last year we told you the story of the dog who. just loved ice-cream. Now a local man has discovered his "best friend" has taken a liking to ••• wait for itt He found his collie munching noisily. by the fire and then noticed his false teeth which ·he had left on a chair were missing ••• •???"

Ten years ago the dogs around here were called Bran, Spot, Toby, etc. But nowadays names have changed and we have B'randy 1 n Yankie, Trixie Eoin, Daisy Shiubhana and believe it or not Penny Mulligantt It is being "said that the Postman, Jimmy Melly delivered approximately 20 Valentine cards to Doire na Mainsear on February 14th, and that is a grand total considering that Joe Mulligan i£ now staying in Ker17... ,. . ,.

Teddy Boyle stopped smoking and. on ThUrsday evening he was almost blind. He couldn't see the cows until someone gave him a fag and then he put in the cows. Another man who has come to live at home is Dinnie Houston who has spent 18 years in London and 26 years in Glasgow as a bricklayer. Dinnie was one of the founder members of the Rosses Rovers in 1933 and was one of the deadliest right-.wing&rs in the game at that time.. They won the County Championship at their first attempt and Dinnie was leading scorer. He is known to have buil.t one of highest chimneys in Scotland twisted-brick style with the "Flemish Band". ' He's at present building a garage for his new Volkswagon and – intends to do a bit of fishing as a pastime. "Celtic".
