This post about the show was to go out yesterday evening but due to hearing of sudden passing of the late Senan Cunningham Kilkee it was not posted. It would be remiss of me not to sympathise here the Loop Show page to his family and friends on their sad loss. Senan was a volunteer with RCB and also a Director on the board of the radio station. He helped me on many occasion to get events which the Loop Show was covering. Also he was ready with advice on local matters and had great local stories which I availed of for programmes. He will be sorely missed by one and all. for all your help ….Gur raibh míle maith agat agus ar an turas nua… Go n-éirí an bothair leat a chara….
