Water Levels Critical.
Cllr. Michael O’Meara is appealing to people to conserve water in the coming days by not using water to wash cars, water gardens or use paddling pools. The water levels are critically low in Lorrha, Rathcabbin, Carrig and the Riverstown areas. ‘Supply may be limited or turned off completely’ said Michael ‘and as we all know, livestock require huge volumes of water at this time of the year and it can cause distress if supply is limited’ he said. Despite rain over the week-end, it will still take a lot to bring the water levels back up to what they should be, so please be water conscious during the summer.
Reminder.
Rathcabbin Hall committee are holding a clothes collection from June 18th to the 26th between 12 noon and 1.00pm. Clothes can be dropped off at any time outside these times by contacting (087) 1364936.
Rooms available in the Hall for courses or meetings with kitchen facilities. Contact the same number for further information or to book.

Late Colette Dolan.
The untimely death occurred on Tuesday May 16th of Colette Greinke, née Dolan, Sydney, Australia and formerly of Lissernane, Rathcabbin.
Colette, was the daughter of the late Willie and Maisie, and she passed away after a long brave battle fought with great courage and hope.
Colette attended National school in Rathcabbin and went to Birr (Convent of Mercy) secondary school, leaving at the young age of 16 to pursue a career in hairdressing. She was a twin sister to Marion who pre-deceased her in 1989. Colette emigrated to England and it was there that she met her future husband Gary. They moved to Australia and married shortly afterwards. Colette never forgot her roots or her family and continued to call them weekly and was a regular visitor back home catching up with family, neighbours and friends.
She was a deeply religious person too, heavily involved with her husband in Church life in Sydney and she took great comfort in her religion even throughout her illness. It was her wish to be laid to rest with her parents and sisters back home in Rathcabbin.
Colette will be sorely missed from the family circle, by her husband Gary, her sisters Sadie (Rathcabbin), Annette (Nottingham), Lorraine (Claregalway, Galway), brothers Joe (Rathcabbin), Liam (Caragh, Kildare), sisters in law, Triona and Karen, brothers in law Mark and Seamus, nephews and nieces Leo, Michael, James, Paul, Niall, Neve, Luke and Caitlin, extended family, neighbours and friends to whom sympathy is offered. Colette was pre-deceased by her parents Willie and Maisie, sister’s Nuala and Marion.
Her funeral mass was concelebrated by Fr. Tom O’Halloran, assisted by Fr.Michael Kennedy and Fr. Pat Deeley, on Monday morning June 5th in Our Lady Queen of Ireland Church, Rathcabbin. Burial took place in Bonaham Cemetery, Rathcabbin. May she rest in peace.
Sympathy.
Sympathy is extended to Mary Cleary and family, Rathcabbin on the death of her brother Pat Grogan which occurred recently in England. May he rest in peace.
Lorrha Community Games.
The parish of Lorrha was well represented last Sunday the 4th of June at the Tipperary County Community Games Track and Field event. There were 25 children competing from the Lorrha area. The competition was of a very high standard but the children were very competitive and did everyone very proud. Big congratulations to the 5 medalists who now go forward to represent Tipperary in the Munster Community Games, Elayna Heenan, Sadhbh O’Crowley, Ruby Ryan, Patrick Seman and Jack Kennedy in Ennis on the 20th of August. We wish them all the very best of luck and no doubt they will give it their all. This is a huge achievement in their first year back competing in Community Games after a long absence.
