There was widespread sadness felt throughout Enniscorthy with the recent passing of John O Toole from 33 Drumgoold Villas, Enniscorthy.
John, who died in his 91st year, was a hugely influential figure in the successful establishment of St Senan s Parish on the east side of Enniscorthy back in 1976.
When the then Bishop of Ferns, Most Rev Dr Donal Herlihy DD, announced the creation of the new parish it presented incredible challenges for the local community.
However, because of the indomitable spirit and never-say-die attitude of a small group of individuals, John being foremost in that group, the new parish quickly made its mark in becoming an influential part of the Church in Ferns Diocese.

Original Match Ticket
In 1920, Tipperary and Dublin were two of the best teams in the country. The political situation at the time saw very few GAA championships completed.
Tipperary had qualified for the 1920 Munster semi-final but the military refused to grant permission for the match to take place. Tipperary needed a challenge game and looked to Dublin, a team that had already qualified for the All-Ireland final.
On 1st November, a letter from the Tipperary team appeared in the Freemans Journal newspaper: We understand that Tipperary s superiority over Dublin in football, despite two decisive victories is being questioned by Dublin. We, therefore, challenge Dublin to a match on the first available date, on any venue and for any object .
