People migrated from the city to the county in the 1960s and 70s, and by the 1980s there weren't a lot of families to support the parish.<br />I read that book a long time ago--was the author's last name Cahill? <br />I know what you mean about chatting while enjoying a cup of tea. My cup sits on the table next to my lap top.<br />Hope you enjoy this lovely day.<br />DonnaDonna Volkenannthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04540727800410234483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198335440945057072.post-70088361763660199112012-04-09T11:12:10.655-05:002012-04-09T11:12:10.655-05:00Interesting!

Why the abandonment other than money...where did the people go? And Kerry Patch is such a cute name although I know it was not always a good thing, the Irish huddling together. No matter how many times I read about The Hunger and the prejudice against the Irish (or any group) I get riled all over again. Donna, did you ever read How the Irish Saved Civilization? So good...whoops, I am chatting like you are on the other side of this tea cup! Sorry. Have a good day.Bookiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12043111213031211794noreply@blogger.com
