Paidí Delaney receives a cheque from Gerry Walsh and Pauline Ronayne of
Kilkerrin - Clonberne Community Ceangal.
Their plight was highlighted by Paidí Delaney of Oranmore in a letter to the editor of The Tuam Herald recently. The Choctaw people of Mississippi have been hit especially hard by the Hurricane. They have been unable to get fuel for their emergency vehicles to carry out the necessary clean up and repairs. Many are living in shelters and the elderly are refusing to leave their homes for fear of relocation. A natural fear as many were forced off their land in the South-Eastern United States in the 1930’s and relocated to what is now Oklahoma.
