The late Terry Shaughnessy
THE rural area of Knockindrane, Garryhill in Co Carlow lost a well-known and popular member of the community with the passing on Friday 2 July of Terence (Terry) Shaughnessy. Aged 83, Terry had farmed at Knockindrane for the past 58 years, carrying on a mixed enterprise of livestock and tillage. He had been hospitalised for almost seven weeks before his death.
Terry was born into a farming background at Ballywilliamroe, Bagenalstown in February 1938, son of Terence and Annie (née Nolan) Shaughnessy. Terry took over the farm at Knockindrane, where his father was born, following the death of an uncle, Sylvester Shaughnessy.
