‘Father’ of political dynasty in his proper place

IN response to your feature article headlined ‘Tracing The Past’ (June 10) , I wish to point out that Patrick J Lenihan, grandfather of Mary O’Rourke TD and great-grandfather of Finance Minister Brian Lenihan, born in Kilfenora, Co Clare, was principal of a school in Gortown, Kilshanny — not Lickeen, Kilfenora, as reported.

There was no school at Lickeen.

There was, however, a teacher’s residence — still there and privately owned.
