Carmel Gaffney sadly passed away on Thursday, 24th of March. Crowds gathered last Sunday to say a fond farewell to the popular publican and undertaker.

I will always remember Carmel as being one of the first people we met when we moved to Delvin in 2005. Her warm welcome and her kindness were greatly appreciated by my own mother, and I recall how supportive she was when I started this website in 2009. I’m sure she didn’t really know what I was doing but she knew it was a good idea and often asked how I was getting on with it.

Thank you Carmel, and Rest in Peace.
