BIRTHDAY WISHES:

Well, at this stage it 's actually belated birthday wishes to Sean Cagney. Neighbours and friends gathered at John & Marguerite

Lynch's home to arrange a surprise party, for his 70th. Usually, Sean is in the know about all the goings on, but this time he was

well and truly surprised. A great night and a late night was had by all accounts.
