After the latest spate between Fr. MacAnnally and Fr. Sheahan it looked like things had settled down a bit in Ballykissangel.
Fr. Mac continued not wanting to know where Vincent is living and Vincent continued not wanting to tell him.They are keeping an eye out for a suitable place but it isn’t easy to find one.
Funds are limited and properties scarce, although there are rumours of a new housing development between Ballykissangel and Kildargan. To quote Fr. Mac “it’s a bit far, but better than nothing”.

Liam Coghlan and Dónal Docherty are only too happy about the proposed new housing site. It means more available work for them and the possibility of being “paid on time”. Time is of the essence as this reporter heard Mr. Coghlan saying “ I need to

get that land before Dooley gets his hands on it”.

Eyewitnesses later saw Coghlan and Docherty proceed with due caution along to the site however they failed to notice a gate left open near Avril Burke's place. Not expecting a goat to be in the middle of the road, Donal hit it. There was nothing Dónal could do to avoid it said by-standers.

Alas, poor Daddy G ended up being killed outright. The two lads realised not only had they killed the Dooley’s pet (for which there is sure to be financial compensation due), the Cat’s lucky mascot was also obliterated. Gárda Sullivan arrived on the scene. Liam and Donal were taken in for questioning and handed the accident report sheet. One question asked “Did the deceased say anything before they died?”. Liam, deciding to be thorough, wrote in “Bleeeeat!!!!!”. It was reported that the two men creased with laughter. Garda Sullivan was not amused.

Investigations are ongoing and this reporter will have another update next week.
