RE: 3rd MEETING
Present:
J. O'Connor,
Tommy Sheehy, James Sheehy,
Johnny Sullivan, Marie Sullivan,
Mary Donegan, Mossy Donegan.
Apologies: Margaret Holderied.
- It was mentioned
at the meeting that the food fair was on the same weekend of our event; one
member suggested that we may as well forget our event in view of this
development. I pointed out that our date was set and the Skellig Hotel was
booked, some members expressed surprise at my statement as if we had not
agreed to book the Skellig at the previous meeting.
- A member suggested
that a reception after the mass at the Harbour Lodge was not necessary? Did we
not agree to this at a previous meeting?
- Some members
stated that they did not get the minutes of the previous meeting.
- There was a view
expressed that the event should be held in the Dingle Bay Hotel instead of the
Skelligs
I felt at this stage that items agreed at previous
meetings were up for change and that decisions already made were being
quashed.
I left the meeting at this stage after stating
that I could not operate like that.
In view of the above and the fact that there were
only four houses represented at the meeting, I regret that I will no longer be
part of the organising committee for the centenary celebrations.
Please feel free to read this account at your next
gathering.
'Best of luck going forward,
John O'Connor
