Clontuskert
Joe is very much a Community Man. In the 1970s he set up the Clontuskert Youth Club. They renovated the old school and held their activities there.
He has been at different times in his life been a member of the School Board of Management, The Pastoral Council, the Finance Committee, the Heritage Group, the Community Alert Committee.
One of the most enjoyable groups, he joined and which gave him the most satisfaction was the Heritage Group. They were a very dedicated group of people and they can be very proud of the book they produced, edited by Joe, “ The Parish of Clontuskert “ Glimpses into the Past.
Joe has always enjoyed the company of young people. He delights in observing their discoveries, how their minds work and the questions they ask. Teaching them about their local area when he takes them on field trips has given him great pleasure and he hopes to continue his association with St. Augustine’s school children in the coming years.
Thank you Joe for your support of the school and congratulations to you on being the 2018 Parker Cup Winner.
