We are indeed lucky to have « the friars » in Dundalk and elsewhere. Fascinating history and heart warming to hear of the bravery and kindness of that lord Hamilton that made The Friary in Dundalk with the friars own bravery and mission, possible for the benefit of all the people of Dundalk and district.
