The Derrybe~ footpath has made steady progress since our last issue: the grass ·along the side remains uncut and the wall was built so fast it would have left Hadrian gasping. Acht eist - ta toghchan ag teacht ••• Lunniagh/Carrick is fast becoming the residential area of suburban Derrybeg. Among the owners of new houses in the area are John Diver, John Ce~bell, Darby Diver, Owen Doherty, Tom Sanzone, Paul McGee, and Grace McFadden.

There was a ~sterious burning in the area recently. It still remains a ~stery~ · Hughie Coffey and Uranium vera reported to be engaged recently, but it was only a rumour. Hughie is not to be confused with Uranium. Hughie is not Uranium. Uranium is not Hughie ••• despite vhat is being said. Pot-holes are as plentiful as spots on juvenile delinquents' faces. So maybe if the Government employed juvenile delinquents there would be less pot-holes on many of our roads. Pot-holes on main roads are of less importance it seems than new bog roads. Maybe that has something to do with C's energy policy? Ta Reserves Glenea ag deanamh go maith le tamall. Ta Edward ag scorail agus cupla duine eile ag imirt go maith.

Weekend DUNGLOE Visitors to Dungloe for the Rosses/Glasgow weekend were delighted about tvo things - they got excellent value for Sterling in at least one business establish– ment, and a group involved locally in the money business agreed to meet the cost of dining, w.ining, drivi~ and danci~.· The waltzing competition, which was eo– sponsored by our Bord Failte man Anthony Doherty, was judged by the Directors of the newly acquired premises below the Bank of .Ireland. "Many are called but fe1J are chosen". This was the case at a recent function in aid of Fr. Anthony O'Donnell's Mission. The venue vas Ostan na Roeann and the standard of waltzing was reasonable. During the contest, which was sponsored by Jim the Cope, many couples were called for inspection but only one was chosen - Conni~ Boyle, Meenmore and Agnes Murray, Acres. In additi on to receiving the Perpetual R./G. Cup which was presented by Mayor Michael Hanlon, the couple automatically qualifY for the Ulster semi-finals in Dooey later this year. In Ostan na Rosann at the annual Dinner and Dance of the Rosses/Glasgow Association, guest of honour, Canon O'Callaghan presented a painting to Chairperson Mrs. Brid Duggan. Mrs. Duggan acknowledging, said she was pleased to say t·hat the gift would occupy a prominent position in the foyer of their new premises. ~~ry & Michael the Mayor. Eleetipn Fever Now that we have recovered from the effects of the Rosses Mayoral Election, we are cast into the depths of a Bye-Election. The contest between Garret, Cbarlie and Neil in Neil 1 s county should be most interesting. As yet there have been no Conventions but ~ guess at the moment~ in the absence of candidate's names is that Blaney will be victorious, and the holder of the new seat will be from the Gaeltacht. The Main-Street premises known as the Shamrock Bar has changed hands. Rumour has it , that the new owner intends demolishing the building and re-building a "picture-house". The new ear-park which runs fr~m the back of Arthur 1 s to the T.V. Centre is nearing completion. One of the entrances to t his park is from the Chapel Road. It wouldn't surprise me if some "politician" would, during the course of the campaign try to take credit for this development. "The Kerryman".
