A Lovely History by Paddy Kelly....
During my visit to Ireland, December of 2009, Mary Munnelly and I had the pleasure of being shown around Lacken and Kilcummin by one Patrick Munnelly, son of Patrick Munnelly.
While visiting with the locals of Bessie's Bar, which has Munnelly connections, current owner Noel Collins presented us with this history by Paddy Kelly of Church Village, Kilcummin.
Paddy not only has Munnellys in his own family, but he also married a Munnelly! Mr. Kelly is in his 90's and living in a nursing home in Ballina.

Patrick Munnelly - our guide through Lacken and Kilcummin. The quintessential Irishman!
This is where we received Paddy Kelly's history. It once belonged to a Munnelly through marriage.
