I don't have a problem with Damien O'Reilly. He's a very good presenter. It's the production thats the problem. And its governed by joe Duffy.

Yeah, it's long past time to give the gig to someone else and let them put their stamp on it.

i'm sure with less and less priests these days, and them having to carry out more funerals , the priests probably sick of listening to long rambling speeches at the grave side.

Surely the dinner after the funeral is the best suited place for the eulogy's

Feedback - Damo, she could be getting it and you don't.

Why on Earth would you do that?! If you don't want to obey their rules, dislike their hipocrysy and disagree with their nonsense, why would you still use their services?!

Maybe cocktail sausages, chicken nuggets, chicken wings and potato wedges count as lunch in some parts of thr country. Give me soggy salad sandwiches and sour apple tart any day of the week.

I attended an interfaith but more largely Christian funeral at Newlands Cross, led by a lady padre, you might say - a madre. The lady who died was born of a Jewish father and RC mother, with lots of attendees from various faiths. Half the funeral was in fact a eulogy.

"The bullets didn't just travel in distance, they travelled in time. Some of those bullets never stop travelling." Jack Kennedy, father of James Kennedy

On 15th August 1969, nine-year-old Patrick Rooney became the first child killed as a result of the 'Troubles' - one of 186 children who would die in the conflict in Northern Ireland.

Fifty years on, these young lives are honoured in a memorable book that spans a singular era.

From the teenage striker who scored two goals in a Belfast schools cup final, to the aspiring architect who promised to build his mother a house, to the five-year-old girl who wrote in her copy book on the day she died, 'I am a good girl. I talk to God', Children of the Troubles recounts the previously untold story of Northern Ireland's lost children -- and those who died in the Republic, the UK and as far afield as West Germany -- and the lives that might have been.

Based on original interviews with almost one hundred families, as well as extensive archival research, this unique book includes many children who have never been publicly acknowledged as victims of the Troubles, and draws a compelling social and cultural picture of the era.

Much loved, deeply mourned, and never forgotten, Children of the Troubles is both an acknowledgement of and a tribute to young lives lost.

Book Description
Based on original interviews with almost 100 families, as well as extensive archival research, this unique book includes children who have never been publicly acknowledged as victims of the Troubles, and draws a compelling social and cultural picture of the era.

That does sound quite nice, but you still can't beat a Catholic funeral. If you have any inclination towards God or Allah (praise be upon him, sez he) there is nothing like it. The CoI, Methodist and other prod funerals are generally sparsely attended, mournful, hurried affairs - sometimes without any music. Catholics make a festival of death in the best possible way.

The wafting of incense, the music, the icons and the art, the splash of holy water - and actually, the informality - somehow, its not a stuffy affair.
I was at a funeral of a local woman a couple of months ago in Terryglass, and after the service, in that beautiful old church yard - one of the nicest in the land, with its mature beech trees, and beyond those, the lake - the mourners sang "I'll take you home again Kathleen" (that being her name). Where else would you get that?

I'm starting to sound as ghoulish as Duffy now, but it is important that mourners should have positive memories of their loved one's final commemoration. As Fr Iggy said on yesterday's programme, it's something this country tends to do very well.
