But I do remember age 13 winning a poster competition in Foróige, prize for which was a scientific calculator and the priest in charge wouldn’t let me keep it as it would be better for a boy.

So PP I spoke of was Canon Walsh. Foróige was Fr Byrne. Fr Arthur also went to my mother directly to ask her to tell me to stop asking questions when he visited our class at school.
You were an altar server, yes? I was a church reader from about age 9 (partly cos I was happy to do early mass).
