Poetic Obituaries: I remember how justifiably proud Paddy [Walsh]

was when a few short years ago his book of Irish poems '"n Rinn Go Bearú' was launched here in Athy. In the introduction to the booklet Paddy wrote:

'Sna dánta símplí seo ar leanas tugtar pictiúr beo iontach dúinn den saol atá imithe, de na laethe a bhí--cois fharraige sa Rinn agus cois Bhearú inár mBaile Átha-_ féin.'

The following poem entitled 'Iascaire Átha-_' was Paddy's tribute to his adopted town.

from Kildare Nationalist: Passing of two of town's respected citizens
