Lisdoon’s lovebirds step out for 43rd match-up

THEY met and fell in love 43 years ago at the Lisdoonvarna match-making festival and were married the following September.

Yesterday, shortly after midday at the Town Hall Pavilion, Limerick couple Albert and Cecily Lawlor took to the dance floor as part of their annual pilgrimage to the month-long match-making festival – billed as Europe’s largest singles’ event.

The Shay O’Callaghan showband had already been entertaining the dancing couples in the hall and dancing at various venues throughout Lisdoon continued late into the night.
