They are but on a well reduced scale. McCartinâs are the main drivers there. Seamus OâRourke of whatever heâs famous for was a fabricator there around those years. McCartins are decent people in fairness.
McCartainâs thems the boys alright

Whatâs going on here @anon67715551
Kennyâs admirable stance on the immigrants that came to Ballinamore a few years back seemed to rile up a right nasty shower of cunts. His car was burnt out. I imagine this may be related.

Just saw this.
Joe McCartin was a MEP - correct?
I remember that alright
Youâre on the ball there. Heâs pro and half the town, led by that daft cunt Dessie Wisely of Russian embassy infamy, Gordon Hughes and another half-dozen craw-thumping fuckers are against.
This is a serious act nonetheless, be interesting to see if Kennyâs base support, the old McGirl faction, bring a few lads for midnight tours of Derrada.
Kenny is well liked and that doesnât ride well with the towniesâŚ

He was, for about 25 years. A solid vote-getter on the European stage. Struggled to make the DĂĄil, once for sure but I think that was that.
Internal FG issues with the party elders in Bâmore (Reynolds faction).
Joe was an alright sort, decent to a fault.

Must have been some craic in Ballinamore during the Troubles. John Joe on one side and (Pat Joe?) Reynolds on the other side.
I assume this Hughes buck and co are just wannabe hard chaws
Aaargh there was and there wasnât. McGahern captures it nicely in the book with the tricolour flying above McGirls and himself chatting and laughing with all comers and Pat Joe staring down the street at himâŚâŚ
They were both inherently decent folk, reasonable friends who co-existed despite both having different agendas. Boxty MĂłr and McGirl were lifelong friends while my mothers allegiances were on the other side.
McGirl, whatever was said about him, was a very charitable man in a very silent fashion, plenty hoors in Aughnasheelin would have starved only for him

Youâd be fair stuck for a hard-chaw when youâd spot Hughes. They consider themselves the mini chamber of commerce types so unlikely to fit into your vision. Undertaker, auctioneer, ecclesiastical supplier, restauranter - these wimps are not the battling type although I see on FB where the ecclesiastical supplier has denied being involved. Heâs up to 20 guffawsâŚCunts.

I heard that about McGirl. I knew folk who lived near him on the Main Street and he, and his son, couldnât have done enough for them.
A woeful, opinionated bollocks. Iâd love if the Russians billed the cunt about âŹ30k for the gate and sent a few lads to seek proposals for paymentâŚ.
Dessie would be roaring for the brown cords fair lively.

Thatâs the Old Rectory house in Fenagh, widely used for assorted occasions, weddings, murder/mystery type shit.
They seem to have recently added crashing through gates to the list of adventures.
