Well I am glad its not just me because I also thought it was a total waste of money. The idea was there, but they should have painted on the name "Smyth & Co, Hosiery Company 1780-1980" or something to that effect. I agree with the lady who said it looked like scaffolding with plastic over it. Most people had to be told what it was all about whereas with lettering on it would have made a huge difference.

Below is the result of your feedback form. It was submitted by Name: Julie Location: Balbriggan Date: 16th March 2010 comment: I have'nt visited the site in a few weeks and I am such a big fan but I was pleasantly surprised to see that I am not the only one who feels that there is a lack of irish spirit and tradition in some places of our lovely town. It was only this time last year that I was praising and enjoying such a wonderful parade and I must say the organisers do such a fantastic job every year. It really brings the locals and other community members together in the town for probably the only time in the year. We should be proud of this event and the support of this should not stop with only the parade goers and sponsors. It takes such a huge effort to achieve such a succesful result. But what I will say is that after the lovely parade the spirit continues in the local pubs who I was ashamed to see last year very very few had played any contribution in keeping the spirit going. I really think St.Patricks Day is a time that they benefit extremely well from punters and it would'nt take a lot to provide a little bit of Irish cheer to acompany the uisce beatha. I was very disappointed last year and it has not gone unnoticed to just me I am glad to see. It's like everything in life 'if you don't use it you lose it' and custom of a premises definitely falls into that category for me. Thanks to all the organisers of the parade and to the premises which have already played a great part including the hotel which looks lovely and the Bridal shop. I saw a few white baloons outside the millrace tonight and could be tempted to pop my head in there tomorrow, which may I mention is a wonderful new establishment in the town and should they continue with their efforts shall remain so for a long time we hope. It would be great if Moriarty could put a few flags on his empty flag poles up outside supervalu seeing as it is on the parade route. Slainte to you all Below is the result of your feedback form.

She is allowed to have her own views about Balbriggan good or bad & by reacting negatively towards her you are only proving her views towards us are correct. Balbriggan is not the small town we grew up in & has changed a lot. It has its good days & bad days & does not always smell of roses. I love this town but there are some places that make me feel like I am a stranger & shouldnt be there, & I am not just talking about the new areas. This site is supposed to promote the town & if people start using the site to pick on people just because of their views Carla may be right & I hope she isn't.

I have just seen a photo in your archive news of my father Sean Reilly's shop in Drogheda Street. It was 18 Drogheda Street, next door to Charlie Corr's. I was born in the room above the shop in 1957. My mother Betty ran the shop. She was a Cross on her father's side, a Corcoran on her mother's. Sadly she passed away last year. My father died six years ago. I remember the shop well, I used to sit on the step and watch the world go by. Balbriggan was such a small town then, we knew everyone. Today 18 Drogheda Street is the Spar supermarket. I also saw a picture of my great-uncle Coffe Corcoran on your site, he fished on the Avoca. I remember as a child running down to the harbour and he would tie plaice to a string for me to bring home for our tea. I am trying to find out more about the Corcoran side of the family, I believe they go back a long way in the history of Balbriggan. Thankyou for such a tremendous website.

It was submitted by Name: Caroline Kernan Location: Yorkshire Date: 8 November 2009 comment: I'm tryiing to trace the history of my great Grandfather Richard Kernan, his Guardian was a Dr Francis McEvoy, this is back in the late 19th. I don't know whether his practice was in Balbriggan or Dublin. I have in my posession family photographs taken in front of large villas overlooking the sea, one called Fancourt. They look fairly new at the time of taking. Any information on Dr Francis McEvoy or Richard Kernan gratefully receieved. I also believe that Richard Kernan's mother was a Pauline McEvoy, Dr McEvoy's sister I think. Below is the result of your feedback form.

One is Patricia Hurley and Number 14 is Kay Kelly. Hope all is well. I check in on the web everyday and have my visual walk along the beach. Love all the updated photos. It shows how well the town looks with everyoneâ s hard work. I have just retired from the university and am enjoying my unscheduled time. Hope to visit next year. Delighted to see how well Shiela Reynolds and Mrs. Richardson look in photos. Recent photoâ s bring back a lot of memories. McCanns on the corner and Corcorans on the Hill where we got our ice cream and buckets and spades and the biscuits in the glass topped boxes, not to mention the ice cream floats sitting by the glass covered tables. Tell Jimmy HamiltonI found the e-mail he sent with photos when I was clearing off my files at work. Old boy scouts photos with my brother Joseph in them. I enjoyed listening to Mr. Geraghty who lived across the street from me and I love to watch the video from the roof of the hotel and also from the roof of Spicers. It just like I am really there. All the photos and information would make a wonderful museum of Balbriggan for generations to come. Thanks to everyone for all their hard work. It certainly means a lot to those of us who live so far away in America, Australia and every other part of the world. Best regards, Caith McEnaney/Fairley.

We appreciate it. :) Calling Jessica in Twickenham Hi, I've just recently comeback from a regular trip to see our remaining relatives in Balscadden. Whilst there we saw the work in progress at the Church and congratulations to all the many hardworking people in the village who worked tirelessly to raise the funds, prepare the church and clean up the graveyard and help with the refurbishment. It looks really great and quite frankly when I left, I didn't think that it could be finished on time. I've looked at the array of photographs, clearly a lot of people who did so much work in the background are too modest to appear on "camera" So well done to all those folks as well, On a slightly more sombre note relating to Balbriggan. We mostly stay in your lovely Bracken Court hotel and enjoy your town very much. This time however, we were particularly disappointed at the state and stench of your small fishing harbour. It is the worst condition that we have ever seen it, which is such a shame, since it such a quaint and interesting part of your town, not to mention a working contribution to your local economy. Please don't let it digress any further. Get it cleaned up and clear away all the unused derelict boats. It could still be such an attraction, especially with the seals now visiting.
