True Lights Shine like the brightest stars

As sure as the ocean kisses and hugs the shore

We will love you both forever

Route for the Funeral Cortege on Friday

Walking beside  the hearses from Martin’s house at 10.20 a.m. via Fr. Burke Road,  Grattan Road,  Frenchville and along by  the swamp/south park towards the Church. We would ask people not to form close contact groups or clusters behind the hearse but perhaps stand on the path as the hearses pass by.

If you would like to be present along the route please do so by following social distancing guidelines.  As a mark of respect to Martin and Tom  the cortege will drive from the Church after Mass to Rahoon Cemetery via Long Walk and the Docks. House Private and no flowers please.

Memorial donations, if preferred, to the R.N.L.I.
