Bench unveiled at the weir in honour of nature loving Canon Mervyn McCullagh
Mary Ross and Hilary McCullagh unveil the bench at the Weir last Sunday to remember Canon Mervyn McCullagh.
A good crowd gathered at McAllister last Sunday on a sunny and warm day to take a walk along the 'Green Line' in remembrance of Canon Mervyn McCullagh.
This was not the first time that a walk has been organised by the Lion's Club to remember a man who was very fondly regarded in the community, but this year there was an addition to the ritual walk.
An unveiling of a bench at the Weir on the River Slaney followed the Green Line walk. The bench was sponsored by the Baltinglass Lion's Club, and supported by the Baltinglass & District Active Retired, the Country Market and the parish.
Mary Ross, President of the Baltinglass Lion's Club, said a few words before she and Hilary McCullagh unveiled the bench.
Canon McCullagh was a great lover of nature and this seat looking out at the River Slaney is an apt way to remember him and his 'unique sense of humour'.
