Dear members,

It is with great sadness that I inform you of the death of Aidan O’Hara, a very faithful member of many years of Knocklyon History Society. Aidan was a great help in the founding of Knocklyon History Society. In fact he part gave the first public lecture of the society in 1997 commemorating the 1400th death of Saint Colmcille. He spoke to the society on many topics since, Women in the American Civil War, The Remarkable Colums – The Family of Padraig Colum and recently in the ‘zoom’ era he helped out speaking about the Famine in Longford and how his own family was affected by it..

We sympathise with Joyce and the family. Suaimhneas síorai dá anam agus go gcumhdai na haingle é ar shli na fírinne.
