For all of us the June bank holiday weekend (once know as Whit Weekend) holds memories. For me, I think of the great All-Ireland Fleadhs (Fleadhanna if you prefer), and in particular the ones held here in Boyle, 1960 and 1966. Basking in sunshine all those years ago, Boyle proudly and brilliantly hosted an interested, entertained, peaceful 50,000 - the largest numbers of people ever seen in the town. Oh my god!, how our world has changed since then!
