WAKE IN THE WEST’: The Abbeyfeale Drama Group production of the comedy ‘ A wake in the west’ which has drawn to a close took the place by storm over the past few weeks. Our very popular curate Fr. Joe Foley was the surprise turn of the evening with his stetescope , thermometer and black bag but it is his bedside manner and hands on diagnosing that could lead to a career change should he ever suffer a mid life crisis. Star of the show undoubtedly was the corpse himself. Pat Scannell who suffered through being assaulted, laid upon, straddled and manhandled and who didn’t blink as much as an eye for all the time he was the focus of attention. They say laughter is the best medicine and if that is so there won’t be a patient in any waiting room for the next month –blame Dr. Joe and Co for the downturn in business!

Be sure and call to meet the committee members who have a stand at the Expo this weekend. Irish motorists have been urged to be on their guard amid a fraudulent motor tax scam. People paying motor tax online have been warned against sharing their details via email. According to the Irish Independent, some of those who had renewed their motor tax online, received emails afterwards claiming there was a problem. The publication reports that they are then asked to confirm the details about their car and provide their billing details. The email claims the payment for motor tax did not go through. The recipient is asked to confirm the vehicle registration number and owner information. The Motor Tax website urged customers to be aware of the scam, stating on their website:“ This Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport have become aware of fraudulent emails purporting to come from the department seeking vehicle details and billing information from vehicle owners in connection with their last motor tax transaction.” “Anyone who provided personal information in response to these fraudulent emails should contact their bank or credit card company immediately.”Like our Face Book page to receive regular updates on Abbeyfeale Community Alert.

MAUREEN’S TRIP: Curraghmore House, Waterford is the historic house of the 9th Marquis who died February 22, 2015. The Estate was owned by the de la Poer (Power) family over 500 years, during which time the family gained the titles Baron L Poer (1535) and Viscount Decies and Earl of ‘Tyrone). Curraghmore House is surrounded by 2,500 acres of formal gardens, woodlands and grazing fields making the largest private demesne in Ireland.
Gnarled pink Chestnut trees line the approach to the big house and orginal castle tower. St. Hubert’s Stag with crucifix between its antlers – genuine horns on the de la Poer family emblem – gazes across the large courtyard from atop of the old castle. Curragmore meaning great bog, is the last of the 4 castles built by the de la Poer family.
Shell House hidden in the shrubbery near the main house at Curraghmore is the most enchanting Shell House, created byCatherine Countess of Tyrone with ‘her proper’ hands in 1754. The decoration of the folly took her 261 days to complete with shells from all over the world which were provided by the various Captains who left the very important Georgian Harbour at Waterford. A recent scientific examination of the shells which adorn the walls of the Shell House has indentified many exotic and rare varieties from far flung regions of the world’s oceans. We will have a guided tour of the house, gardens and the Shell House. We will have our usual refreshments breakfast and dinner on Sunday, April 22.
