Sorry typo in my last post O Halloran should have read O Hanrahan. Think we might have answered your query pinkie, you should be grateful to us. Imagine your embarrassment if you walked up the Club Secretary and asked him who Geraldine O Hanrahan was. Your face would have matched your username.

Well done lads.Corkcelt you should start working in genealogy with that sort of a knowledge of names.You are right that O'Hanrahan station is the train station in Wexford.Arock you could be right regarding Geraldine.I might do some digging myself with some local historians and see who knows what on the matter....have no reason to doubt you but watch this space!
I reckon Corkcelt that the Geraldine O'Hanrahan's secretary would have been as lost as I was on the matter!

There is a club in Galway called the Gráinne Mhaols. They are an amalgamation of other smaller clubs in Connemara.
