Good turnout for Table Quiz

There was a full house at Ger Markey's Stray Inn last night for the Table Quiz in aid of Schoil Bhride.



Vivian Clarke did Quiz Master, coming up with the odd question from left field, such as what is 'Triskadekaphobia'?

If you're not superstitious it's probably not important. But if you are, you probably suffer from it ... it is fear of the number thirteen.



Scoil Bhride now has 400 pupils, according to principal Maurice O'Mahoney, and the extra portacabin classrooms which went into service last October are well in use.

"We have an application in for more classroom space," he told The Diary. "We're more fortunate than many schools in that we actually have enough land ... it's hard to get builders to part with land these days because it is so expensive."

Maurice said there were many new names down for the September opening of the next school year.

A sign of the changes in Kilcullen's population — and, as longtime resident John Martin said last night, "it's these kind of events that bring old and new Kilcullen people together."
