I had been at a meeting (MEN ONLY ) and had taken the opportunity before hand to take a drive round some of the townlands around there. I knew where the churches were of both the parish that you reffered to, and meant to ask of the guys at the meeting where Gortnagullion was. I am getting his email address and he should know. He is a farmer somewhere near it.<br /><br />My dad used to know all that area, and it's the same old story, I never asked enough questions when he was with us.<br />I worked in Banking in Ireland for 39 years and retired last fall. Too much time on my hands , trying to walk the coastline, climb some mountains, see the places I missed out on or visited years ago.
