write Lhese few notes as someone who grew up in a village called Ballyd3\'tJCk. Il'~:o.
than Lwenty miles to the northeast ofTourmakeady. I used to think ours was the vlHagt'
of the two pigs (Baile an dha mhuc) until I discovered there was a S3int callt:d Dnvoc
Davoctown sound much belter than Twin Pigs.
Standing on the hilltop at the back of our hous~ there were mountains and hill~ 10 be set;:n
in all directions. Croagh P31rick was a perfect triangular pyramid on the western horizon
The great bulk ofNeiphin stood out to the northwest. while stret.ching-3way of the southwest
was Lhe exotic blue of the Partry mountain~ with the tips I)f the Twelve Pins clear bf.:yond
them on a fin~ day.
My first job took me west along the road to Tourmakeady. In the 13~t Summer of my
father's life I had the pleasure of working with him for Mayo County Council in Cappaduff.
Westport 3nd Ballinrobe It remains a precious time among my memories a", I was. at
eighteen. getting to know him man to man as well as son to father The follOWing year he
dropped dead, a1l too .soon. while working on a doctor's house in Congo Go ndeana Dia
t.rocaire air.
Ilit.t.le lhought all thoseyt:ars ago that life and work would take ml' back tl) Tl)urm3keady.
bULI'm glad it did. It's a pleasure for me 10 be priest here, and I thank you all for your
welcome and support since I arrived at the end of July. 1995.
I would like to compliment all the people who are working voluntarily in the vanou:;
committees and societIes in the parish. The number of people involved and the variety of
the work only caml' home to me the evening that adjudicators from the Clor na nCael
organisation caml:' to asse:;s all that IS happening. I won't attempt to Its! all the vari01l6
organisations because there are so many l\nyway I'm too cute - I might lea\'l' someone out
and create offence.
I do think that the editorial committee that has produced Waterfall for the past len yean.
deserve the highl:ht commendation. It has reached out to the many people born and n:ared
here who are now In farOung places around the world. Looking back on earlier cdJlltlns has
been a great help to me in getting more of 3 feel for the vary inter~$ting histl'lry of the place
and its people.
I wish all readers of WSlerfal1. at home and abroad. a very happy Christmli:' May the
Christchild who became one of us almost two thousands years ag:o shower you \Yuh many
blessings.
