Downtown celebrations for 96th birthday Pat

There was a buzz of celebration through this morning outside O'Connell's Bar as Pat Lynch of Logstown responded to well-wishers calling on his 96th birthday, writes Brian Byrne.

Showing little sign of his recent bout with Covid, Pat said he's 'working on' getting back to Logstown while he completes his recuperation at Curragh Lawn Nursing Home. His cake — made by Armelle's Kitchen — had the inscription which anyone who knows Pat also knows that it is entirely appropriate: 'For the Oldest Swinger In Town'.

Family and friends, and more than a few passers by also took the opportunity to congratulate him.

It's his second celebration of recent weeks — he was also guest of honour on Saturday week last for the relaunch of Kilcullen Tennis Club, of which he was a founder member some seven decades ago.

Have a great day, Pat.
