HALPIN

HALPIN (Eoghan) (First Anniversary) - One year ago today we lost our only brother, brother-in-law and uncle in tragic circumstances. The burden of our grief and loss is no lighter but we have found the strength to bear it through the sympathy and consolation given to us by many people. We were treated with great sensitivity by the Garda Síochana and the staff of Loughlinstown Hospital. We also received many kindnesses at the time and during the year from all our relatives and friends, from neighbours in Grosvenor Court and Fortfield Drive, from Eoghan's colleagues in the Ombudsman's Office and our colleagues in the National University of Ireland and the Sunday Business Post, from the Carmelite Community in Terenure College. We wish to express our sincere appreciation to you all for the help you have given us. Mass has been offered for your intentions. Attracta Halpin, Emmanuel, Myles, Grace, Isabelle and Pierce Kehoe."Nár fhan friotal id chaol-choin
ná binneas ag éanaibh,
nuair fuaradh tu traochta
ar lár an tslé' amuigh"
"our slim hounds were silent
and no sweet birds,
when you were found spent
out in midst of the mountain"
