NEVER KNEW MUCH ABOUT CLONARD, BUT IN THE EARLY DAYS, OUR NEIGHBOURS ACROSS THE STREET MOVED TO CLONARD. IT WAS THE HANNAWAYS, KEVIN, DERMOT, TERRY AND THE MUM AND DAD. I WENT OVER A FEW TIMES TO MEET KEVIN, THEN LOST TRACK OF THEM. I READ IN A BOOK ONE TIME THAT THEY WERE RELATED TO GERRY ADAMS. DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW THEY ARE.

   
Arder went to school with big dermot [dermy] hannaway. [st galls] then years later played in a pipe band with him. Very stong chacter, a real gent.
