Crossmolina in the early 1960s featuring a fair day, the dolphin hotel, interviews with local people. Dr Micky Loftus and Teirnan Rielly starting the football pitch.
My paternal grandmother moved from Mayo to the North of Ireland in the 40s and married a Belfast man. I was born, reared and still live in Belfast. We holidayed in Mayo in the 80s. My grandmother's sister lived in Crossmolina ,whom was one of many we visited when in Mayo. Spent time in Killala and Ballybrooney. Very fond memories. She was called Sheila and her husband, Andy (my grandmother's sister and brother in law) and I think their surname was Neely.
Patricia Moran, a wonderful documentation about Crossmolina and the country around.... I'm German, but my sister lives there since many years and when I remember my first holidays there ( must be in '85 ) it was so cold in the house of my sister that I need a warming bottle for my every time cold feet ;-) So my brother in law and me drove to crossmolina and bought there in a fishery shop a warming bottle and a thick handmade warm traditional pullover and socks in clothing shop directly at the roundabout.......it's funny to go with this video through the places I knew......thanks a million

Was it not maybe “McNeely“?

It is a way of saying in the old days, the valuable old days. It is a term that can be used quite a bit here in Ireland.
