John Sweeney
Thank you to Fr Adrian for giving the Ballyfermot Heritage Group this opportunity to do a well-deserved presentation to a man that has served Ballyfermot on a Voluntary basis for more than 60 years . How appropriate this is on National Services Day.
John has being involved in the Newly Weds Group, First chairman of the Ballyfermot Tenants Association, The Residence Association, the Community Association, The National Rents Strike, Ballyfermot TV, volunteer in St Matthews Church, and now back to where it all started Our Lady of the Assumption Church.
John would be the first to say that he did not do all this on his own that he was surrounded by great voluntary workers, and in a way this presentation recognises these people also. He and all the people that worked with him on a voluntary basis have set out a great path for us all to walk on down the years. All this and rearing a great family along with his late wife Lily
We in the Ballyfermot Heritage Group Thank you John Sweeney for all your work in Ballyfermot and Joe Coleman our Chairman made the presentation.
Pam O' Reilly
We the Ballyfermot Heritage Group are delighted to make this presentation to Pam today for all her Voluntary work in Ballyfermot over so many years. How appropriate this is on National Services Day.
Pam was a very active member of the Ballyfermot Community Association. She also was involved in the education, transport, the sports Complex, childcare and women's health. Only last September 2019 we saw the opening of the Tribute Garden which Pam was involved in. Down the years she has meetings with politicians, Dublin City Council officials, HSE officials, and educational officials and on most occasions left the meetings on win win terms. Pam sat on the Education Subcommittee that successfully ensured the building of the Senior College. She was secretary of the Sports Federation all this and rearing her family along with her late husband Peter.
Pam will be the first to tell you that she did not do all these things on the own, she was surrounded by great people, and in a way this presentations is to recognise these people also. They have set out a great path for us all to walk on and we the Ballyfermot Heritage Group thank you Pam for all your Voluntary work in Ballyfermot.
