Reflections
As we celebrate the 2nd Sunday of Advent we continue to reflect on the meaning and significance of Advent for all Christians. Advent not only helps us focus better and get ready for the arrival of Christmas, it also nourishes us spiritually and insulates us from the rush and materialistic trappings that precede it. On the day of his feast day, the 6th of December, we highlight the life and historical importance of one of Christianity’s most revered and popular saints: Saint Nicholas of Myra, Patron Saint of sailors and mariners in the Eastern Church and of Children in the Western Church. We will accompany the show with some music associated with this remarkably popular Saint.

Kilkee Civic Trust Newsletter
Today, 11th November, is “Remembrance Day 2020”.
Six Years Ago, in November 2014, on the 100th Anniversary of the start of the Great War,
Kilkee Civic Trust unveiled a Memorial to those who sacrificed their lives from the Parishes of Doonbeg, Kilkee, Carrigaholt & Kilballyowen.
“They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.”
Every good wish,
Joseph McCloskey
Let Erin Remember
During the first World War, tens of thousands of Irish men joined the British Army to fight in the Great War for Civilisation (1914-1918). They did this out of a sense of duty, to fight for the freedom of small nations, the promise of home rule for Ireland and to provide for their families. They would have looked forward to a brighter future for Ireland after the War’s end, where returning soldiers would be welcomed home and greeted as heroes. However, many of those that did return home were vilified and ostracised after fighting for four years in unimaginable horror. In Clare alone 7,000 men went and fought, 418 of those from Kilrush. This documentary tells the story of four O’Higgins brothers from Liscannor, Co. Clare who fought in World War 1, one of whom died at the age of 23. The other 3 brothers were forever impacted by their experience and like many Irish soldiers who fought, were never commemorated or recognised for their service, much to the anguish of their families. We will capture their story delving into what happened to them and how they were finally recognised on the 50th Anniversary of the end of the War.
“The bitterest tears shed over graves are for words left unsaid and deeds left undone”
Let Erin Remember will air on Raidio Corca Baiscinn 92.5 – 94.8 f.m., at 7 p.m. On Thursday 24 September 2020, and live streamed on www.rcb.ie, Presented and produced by Lee Costello and interviews conducted by Dermot Hayes, and researched by the O’ Higgins family. Mairead O’ Higgins Finnegan (Station Manager) on behalf of RCB would like to thank all the conrtibutors to this documentary.
