Happy New Year
To all Rathdrum Notes readers we wish you a very Happy New Year. Hopefully 2022 will be a brighter year and we hope that a return to a more normal life might resume.
MJ Bolton RIP
It was with great sadness that Rathdrum community learnt of the sudden death of MJ Bolton at the end of December. MJ’s death is a huge shock and loss to his family and the wider community.
MJ will be remembered as a kind, quiet gentleman who was always friendly and helpful. He will be a huge loss to the Parnell Athletic Club as the juvenile coach for several years. In fact he always made sure to send in the results of races to the Rathdrum notes. As caretaker of Our Lady’s National School, MJ will be sadly missed by teachers and pupils. Rathdrum has certainly lost a great son. May he rest in peace.
Christmas Lighting
All good things come to an end and last Sunday morning the Christmas Lighting Committee were out early to take down the lights which adorned the town since early December. The storm before Christmas unfortunately fatally damaged some of the lights that will need to be replaced for next Christmas, but despite that the rest worked without any hitches. Thanks to involved
Lottery Ad on TV
Keep an eye on television for the new lottery advertisement which was partly filmed in Rathdrum. This is the latest in a long list of recording in the area.
