ANTRIM

Northern Ireland’s blossoming arts sector is enjoying an unprecedented financial bonanza, which has seen world-class cultural facilities built and improved across the province. With the new look Ulster Museum set to open its doors to the public this week, the massive £150 million investment injection has transformed our arts infrastructure from a dilapidated state into something to be proud of.

ARMAGH

The widow of a Crossmaglen councilor who died almost two years ago says she is ‘overjoyed’ and feels ‘truly blessed’ at the birth of their twin sons. Collette Fee gave birth to the babies in Daisy Hill Hospital on Tuesday last.  The twins are the only children of her and her late husband, John, who tragically died from a brain tumor in November, 2007 at the age of just 43. Named after his father, John Fitzgerald was born first at 3.45am, weighing in at 5lb 7oz.  He was followed thirteen minutes later by his brother, Aaron Patrick, who tipped the scales at 6lb. Collette says the birth of her sons is a joyous occasion, albeit one tinged with sadness. She revealed that prior to beginning treatment for his illness, she and John pursued the option of planning for future children. She says she is delighted to fulfill their dream of having children and adds that her new family will help replace the sense of loss she has felt since her husband’s death.

CARLOW

The search is on in Carlow to find two beneficiaries of a will that is believed to be worth a six-figure sum. Despite exhaustive searches to track down two of the beneficiaries who were bequeathed a substantial sum of money following the death of pharmacist Michael O’Connor, the lucky pair has yet to come forward to claim their legacy. In his last will and testament, the well-known Waterford-based businessman who once practiced on Carlow’s Tullow St, left Septa and Marian Stephens - believed to be a mother and daughter, who could originally be from Carlow - a large portion of his substantial estate. Mr. O’Connor operated a successful pharmacy business at The Quay, Waterford for a number of years. He died on 12 May 2005.
