Ashling Murphy Memorial Boat Trip

On Saturday 27th August, the River Queen tour boat from Silverline Cruisers took to the River Shannon along with the tree skippers, Liam Hannigan, Freda and Martin Flanagan and 43 passengers on board.

Ray and Kathleen Murphy attended this occasion and Ray on his banjo and accompanied by Michael Lynam on Guitar and also a guest appearance of P.J. Lynam; they entertained all the passengers and crew with songs and music from Banagher to Shannonbridge and back again.

During the stop over at the River Cafe (The Fort) in Shannonbridge for a bite to eat, Fergal (the owner) contributed four meals to Ray and his group also made a generous donation to the collection.

An outstanding day was had by all and a very big thanks to Silver Line Cruisers (Mary, Barbara and Morgan Smith) for their sincere generosity on the day. Total raised for the Ashling Murphy Memorial Fund was €1735.

A sincere thanks to all who contributed.
