This is beautiful and so apt for us this year!

So many wonderful memories of Bill at Ballyglass, we miss him everyday but we know he’s with us, keeping an eye😀

🎄🎄🎄Merry Christmas to all of our customers near and far. We hope that 2025 is the best year yet for you🎉🎉🎉

Thank you for your support in what’s been a tough one for us, we look forward to serving you throughout 2025

For those of you missing someone special during this festive season ♥️..

When I go,
don’t learn to live without me,
just learn to live with my love,
in a different way.
And if you need to see me,
close your eyes,
or look in your shadow,
when the sun shines,
I’m there.
Sit with me in the quiet and you will know,
that I did not leave.
There is no leaving when a soul is blended with another.
When I go,
don’t learn to live without me,
just learn to look for me in the moments.
I will be there ..

We’ve been blown away by the lovely messages we received about Dad over the last few days.

Dad was cared for by an amazing team of wonderful people since December 22 at St Martha’s . He was a bit like a vampire he used to come alive at night, which was difficult to manage, Mum had spoiled him rotten here at Ballyglass and the team at St Martha’s continued to spoil him which of course he loved .

His GP Iver Hanrahan always went above and beyond for him, he had several different medical issues all occurring simultaneously and he managed them brilliantly. Dad always felt treated with dignity and respect .

Shane Kelly, had taken over Dad’s plethora of meds in recent years and always managed to get Dad the meds he needed which changed quite often, especially in recent months.

Thank you to all who took the time and came from near and far to Ballyglass to sympathise over the last few days, to our wonderful neighbours who gathered to send Dad on his final journey this morning.

Thanks to my friends who have just been amazing , so many offers of help , it was overwhelming

Tracy O Donoghue and Ken Merrigan , the best friends one could ever wish to have, always such a huge support to us , even more so over recent days

My husband Liam O Connor, such a supportive, loving and wonderful partner. Never grumbled if I’d to abandon ship and head to hospital with my folks which has been often since July 2022. My kids, Hannah and Sarah, loved the absolute bones of Bill Byrne and he adored them right back.

My siblings Jane Byrne and Steve Byrne we’ve shared such laughs over the recent days, far more laughter than tears, a sign of a great childhood and so many wonderful shared memories of Bill Byrne

Final thanks to Aidan, Mary and Willie of O’Briens Funeral Directors of Mitchelstown for helping us navigate recent days, consummate professionals and great friends of Bill, such great memories Dad made playing darts in Dick Henebry’s in Mitchelstown with AidanJackie O Brien

🍀🍀🍀We’d like to wish Alex and all his team the very best of luck tonight at the premier of Tempo Rubato this evening🍀🍀🍀

Tempo Rubato premieres tomorrow at Dance Limerick! This photo by composer Thomas Belhom captures the essence of this new dance trio made by Alexandre Iseli in collaboration with a creative team from diverse backgrounds.

At the heart of the work is a slow pulse, almost a search for sanity, a form of resistance opposing the breakdown of a world that is witnessing the disruption of its biological, social, and geopolitical paradigms.

Tempo Rubato continues Iseli's body of practice focused on interactions among people to recover the body as the core of our shared experience, and the complex balance between individual autonomy and collective structures.

Created in residency at Aristea Litou Dance School in Ioannina, Greece, and at Ballyglass Country House in Co. Tipperary.

Created by Alexandre Iseli in collaboration with:
Choreographic collaborator: Polina Kremasta
Dancers: Robyn Byrne, Rocio Domínguez and Eleni Roberts Kazouri
Music composition: Thomas Belhom
Lighting design: Gearóid O Hallmhuráin
Lighting technicians: Gearóid O Hallmhuráin & Jacob Woulfe
Videography and photography: Shane Vaughan
