Thank you for your write-up about Seamus (Pierce) Dunne and
Jimmy (Aengus) Hanlon in today´s blog. Knew both individuals
and lived with Seamus for a number of years in Tallaght.
You are correct - Jimmy was an accomplished musician.
Without your note would have been completely unaware
of their deaths.
Thank you.
Kindest regards
Edward Walsh
