"At a large and enthusiastic meeting of the parishioners of
Shanagolden, Robertstown and Foynes, held at Shanagolden -
Mr. James Nolan, of Waterpark, presiding - it was resolved to
present their late curate, Rev. John Ryan, now P.P of Glenroe,
with an address and testimonial, expressing the deep love and
veneration in which he was held during the many years he
laboured so zealously amongst them."
