I don't have a problem with Damien O'Reilly. He's a very good presenter. It's the production thats the problem. And its governed by joe Duffy.

i'm sure with less and less priests these days, and them having to carry out more funerals , the priests probably sick of listening to long rambling speeches at the grave side.

Surely the dinner after the funeral is the best suited place for the eulogy's

Maybe cocktail sausages, chicken nuggets, chicken wings and potato wedges count as lunch in some parts of thr country. Give me soggy salad sandwiches and sour apple tart any day of the week.

I attended an interfaith but more largely Christian funeral at Newlands Cross, led by a lady padre, you might say - a madre. The lady who died was born of a Jewish father and RC mother, with lots of attendees from various faiths. Half the funeral was in fact a eulogy.

"The bullets didn't just travel in distance, they travelled in time. Some of those bullets never stop travelling." Jack Kennedy, father of James Kennedy

On 15th August 1969, nine-year-old Patrick Rooney became the first child killed as a result of the 'Troubles' - one of 186 children who would die in the conflict in Northern Ireland.

Fifty years on, these young lives are honoured in a memorable book that spans a singular era.

From the teenage striker who scored two goals in a Belfast schools cup final, to the aspiring architect who promised to build his mother a house, to the five-year-old girl who wrote in her copy book on the day she died, 'I am a good girl. I talk to God', Children of the Troubles recounts the previously untold story of Northern Ireland's lost children -- and those who died in the Republic, the UK and as far afield as West Germany -- and the lives that might have been.

Based on original interviews with almost one hundred families, as well as extensive archival research, this unique book includes many children who have never been publicly acknowledged as victims of the Troubles, and draws a compelling social and cultural picture of the era.

Much loved, deeply mourned, and never forgotten, Children of the Troubles is both an acknowledgement of and a tribute to young lives lost.

Book Description
Based on original interviews with almost 100 families, as well as extensive archival research, this unique book includes children who have never been publicly acknowledged as victims of the Troubles, and draws a compelling social and cultural picture of the era.

That does sound quite nice, but you still can't beat a Catholic funeral. If you have any inclination towards God or Allah (praise be upon him, sez he) there is nothing like it. The CoI, Methodist and other prod funerals are generally sparsely attended, mournful, hurried affairs - sometimes without any music. Catholics make a festival of death in the best possible way.

The wafting of incense, the music, the icons and the art, the splash of holy water - and actually, the informality - somehow, its not a stuffy affair.
I was at a funeral of a local woman a couple of months ago in Terryglass, and after the service, in that beautiful old church yard - one of the nicest in the land, with its mature beech trees, and beyond those, the lake - the mourners sang "I'll take you home again Kathleen" (that being her name). Where else would you get that?

I'm starting to sound as ghoulish as Duffy now, but it is important that mourners should have positive memories of their loved one's final commemoration. As Fr Iggy said on yesterday's programme, it's something this country tends to do very well.

I’ve been to various deniminininational funerdals as befits one who grew up in de most cosmopolitan part of de country so to speak. Well for 1960s it was very cosmopolitan. I was brought to many, many sickbeds, deathbeds and funerals from when I woz a tiny chizler.

I remember my first funeral, aged 3, in the Church of the Three Patrons (at one time styled by the pp the “Church of the three Patricks”, that being the names of the 3 padres. All were stood around the coffin in reverend silence in the mortuary chapel awaiting proceedings, when I piped up in my loud voice “Do you know who’s in the coffin? I’ll tell you, it’s Auntie Bal, and she’s dead, she’s not moving or anything, and they’re going to dig a hole in the ground and put her in there, in that box.” After proceedings we went over to the nice Victorian house in Palmerston Villas and I was just fascinated with it, the big rooms, tall ceilings I and big wooden book cases lining the hall. I decided that I loved funerals and couldn’t wait for more people (who were beyond ancient) to die.

I attended Jewish funerals of the family across the road, and COI funerdals, the last one being of a Freemason who was married to my mother’s old best friend. Actually when I had a new year party, we had the Hewish family over. and he being a man of wit an dat, I said “we literally have all creeds here tonight, and there’s a Freemason coming in shortly, all we need is an Orangeman to make the party go with a bang. When the Freemason arrived the Jewish neighbour gave him the famous handshake and lifted the trouser leg, and asked him could he join the brotherhood.

The local Baptist Ministers wife was famous in the locality and used to grasp my mother to tell her of the latest troubles in the marriage-I’d say she might have livened up the odd funereal. Tbe local Presbyterian madre, Mary Hunter, gave very good sermons and was extremely fond of hosting ceilidhs, so I can’t imagine her not giving a good send-off to the deceased, and indeed we got our electrician from one of her congregation via a funereal so to speak. Rev Gourlay in Zion COI was a man who loved loads of music so I think he wouldn’t discourage his (church) organ being put to good use at any opportunity. The Freemason’s brother was a minister of the 7th Day Adventists Church and we knew him, he being famous for his sermons. The Sally Army would play Christmas Carols around the tree outside Mary Hunter’s church, maybe she called them in for trumpet blast at the funerals.

On the other hand, the local Kingdom Hall was a place apart from all the others. Never been to a service, funereal or otherwise.

The comments:

“Every chisler in Nordren Ireland should get this buke” says Ronan.
“That’s a great idea” says Freya without a hint of self-interest.

Why not buy them all a copy then at wholesale pricing Freya and Joe from the profits you make from the deaths of children? Shameless the pair of you.
