Maria Nolan-Lucey found herself in the surreal position of delivering a few fond words in tribute to a sibling for the second time in five months at the Church of Saints Stephen and John here in Castleisland on Saturday afternoon.
Maria was singing the praises of her older sister Liz O Connor (57) who passed away on Thursday after an 18 month battle with cancer.
She found herself in the same position last October after the unexpected death of her brother Denis.
In sympathising with Johnny and Margaret Nolan, the parents of Liz and Denis, Fr. Mossie Brick said that for parents to bury two children was the most unnatural situation to find themselves in.
Wicked Local
Although members of the public said they wanted more transparency from Newton officers during the latest Police Reform Task Force meeting on Dec. 22, there was no discussion about what law enforcement is and is not allowed to do in regard to releasing information.
Strategy Matters, consultants that “work with mission-driven organizations to develop creative solutions to complex problems, and to help them meet their goals,” according to its website, is being paid $200,000 to help the task force with its work.
Liz O’Connor, founder and principal of the company, told participants they could go into Zoom “breakout rooms” to discuss various topics, including overcoming systemic racism, policing and community priorities, addressing public health concerns, and nuisance concerns. There was no discussion ahead of time about laws, union rules or other factors that could limit what reform suggestions may or may not be feasible.
