In 2014 I had met Larry Quinn by chance in Our Lady of Good Council church in Drimnagh, I had not seen Larry for 50 years. People will well remember Larry going around collecting the slops for the pigs on his Fathers farm up at the 7th Lock. Larry said to me as we said our good byes that he would drop in to the Ballyfermot Heritage Group sometime. This evening in Ballyfermot Library Larry and his son paid us a visit. We all reminisced our past memories of Larry and how we all helped in collecting the slops on our Roads. In 2003 I wrote a book called Growing up in Ballyer in the 50s 60s and 70s . In that book I wrote about three characters

Larry was one of these characters. The group talking to Larry about memories brought back some memories to him also. Such as one evening he was on Landen Road and a big car pulled up outside Mrs Whelan’s house, Brendan Behan gets out of the car Palatic drunk and passes the time of day with Larry. Names he remembers his sidekick John Nolan Kylemore Drive another Legend R.I.P. Mr Kelly the paper man on Ballyfermot Drive, Kevin Duffy Muskerry Road. Moor family Ballyfermot Crescent they sold the coal. Cecil Looney the postman. He told me he had two horses one the famous Flossy which we all remembered and Bob. Larry will be 85 tomorrow and please can you add your Birthday Greetings to him and if you have a memory please share it as he will be looking in. Larry have a very Happy Birthday enjoy your Special day and weekend. We look forward to seen you on Ballyfermot Heritage Day on the 24 August next.
