Today is the anniversary of the death of Dominican priest Adrian Heenan, who died in Dundalk in 2001.
He was a native of Terryglass, Co Tipperary and was at school at Cistercian College, Roscrea. Back then, Roscrea played Rugby in Leinster and hurling in Munster. The monastery lands straddle both provinces.
There was something droll about Adrian, sometimes he gave the impression of being sleepy. In his old age there was a lovely kindness about him. He was a big devotee of Our Lady.
On one occasion preaching at a Sunday Mass in St Mary's Priory, Pope's Quay in Cork in 1975 he referred to the show hosted by Gay Byrne the previous night as 'The Hate Hate Show'.
Does anything ever change?
