We really enjoyed the pic's etc on the Sunshine home. I grew up in the Naul and went to school in the Loreto Secondary College (happy days!!) My husband and I have recorded an album (a story book album titled 'The Life of Matilda Flynn - Balbriggan to Ballarat') set back in the 1800's telling the story of a young girls journey through life. The first song on the album features the SUNSHINE home. We have uploaded six of the songs from our album of 14songs onto our MySpace page (www.myspace.com/storytellerau). We would love to hear your thoughts and would love to invite all of you that like what you hear to be friends on our myspace page. On this page there is a blog that details the story on Matilda Flynn. If you would like any more info on the album please leave a comment on our my space page or contact us on our hotmail address. Big hello to the Staff @ the Loreto (Principal Eddie Fynnes thought me History back in the late 80â s), Hickey's (@McNallys Funeral services) and all the Flynn, Guildea, Clarke families that live in Balbriggan/Naul and all my old school friends. Can't wait to hear from you. To all the crew at Balbriggan.net keep up the good work!!!!

I remember she used to also do security in the old cinema with that famous torch of hers, there was no chance of anyone getting up to anything in the dark with her on duty. Even though I or any of my pals knew Mrs Murtagh personally, walking home from school would never be same if we didnt have a look in the shop window everyday to see if anything changed. Looking at the photo is actually quiet sad now. Well done for that photo its amazing. x guest

We love Ireland, particularly Balbriggan, especially the Kiernan's....

Love you Grandad Olliexxxx guest book entry from 20.01.2008 at 00:08:45 Name: William Nearney ----------------------------------------------- comment: William aged 8 from England. Balbriggan is a beautiful place, have been several times to visit our Grandad Ollie. He's great, he makes me laugh and is always buying me and my brother and sister sweets which is fab. The harbour, beach and places to eat are our favourite parts. Jumping on the train to Dublin is brill too, but most of all tea at Auntie Sheila's is the best.... We love Ireland, particularly Balbriggan, especially the Kiernan's.... PS for those who have never been to Balbriggan, you're missing out, it's a wonderful place, the people are great and there's lots to do.

I came across the site which I found to be both interesting and informative. My grandfather Tom Cunningham (High St) was a signalman at the station and watch over us as we played on the beach (I'm pretty sure he's also second row far right on the Balbriggan Pioneers 1935 photograph).Good to see the exciting development which has come on apace since my last visit in 96. Best of luck for the future JR guest book entry from 02.01.2008 at 21:47:01 to Tony E-mail: aoflaherty123@hotmail.com Name: ANTONY O' FLAHERTY ----------------------------------------------- comment: Hello are there any Brazilians living in Balbriggan?
