Are you from out that way? My auntâs late husband was a Drangan man. Played football for Tipp (and Munster). His own brother passed away last week in his 90s.
Despite being adverse to Meath I always liked Sean Boylan.
Much more so than the other Meath great who was actually born close by to Seanâs mother.
Luke Kelly and Ann Lovett died on the same day.

He was president St Patricks club, massive funeral, not from Drangan but close enough. The amount of people who stopped on the road looking for directions to the bonesetter when I was a young lad was unreal, from all over the world.

Yeah, my auld lad headed to it. Heâd have known all the Gleesons well. Said it was a big one alright.

As you probably know Mary Wilson is from Drangan also, before she moved to Dublin.
Sheâd be a niece of the man who died last week.

My oul lad went to him in the late 90s for his back. Never had an issue after that. And it had plagued him for years.

Think heâs still alive. Heâd be about 93 now at least. My father brought calves up to him a few times to be healed.
Never heard a bad word said about him.
Kellyâs father, who was also named Luke, was wounded as a child when a detachment of soldiers from the Kingâs Own Scottish Borderers opened fire on a Dublin crowd on 26 July 1914 in what became known as the Bachelorâs Walk massacre
