Slán abhaile, agus beannachtaí Dé a bheith ar an bheirt agaibh

Roughly translated:

"May (the) God (of my extremely limited understanding) provide you both with a safe and pleasant journey back to your homes (in Melbourne)."

Information (including a video recording) regarding the ancient Irish folk-song "Carrickfergus" (name of a costal town in Northern Ireland) which I mentioned to you last night, sung by Joan Baez, can be found at:

A final electronic farewell message from Ireland to you both on September 12th 2012 from:

"The Prince of Wales" (Athlone):

Love Dad, xxx.

PS:

Note for Larissa:

I wish you to know that I will go to my grave feeling extremely grateful to you for all of the very skilful and tactful encouragement, help, and support you have provided myself and Siobhan with in connection with your recent trip to Ireland.

Many, many thanks.

Bill(y) (Finnerty).
