  • Sorry for the confusion. I mistakenly made the (eirspa2) comment under my daughters account.

    Anyway, Jim was never fat. It's great to see people making the effort to record older people who WERE Irish Culture. Sadly, Irish Culture will disappear with their passing.

    I also knew Jim's brother Paddy who worked in Cope's Grassmeal plant in the late 50's/early 60's.

    I know someone who lives on the same road and I would be grateful for info on where exactly his home is.

  • I got a ride on Jim Byrne's tractor back in about 1958 and I have thought of him fondly many times since. I was around 10 at the time and was totally captivated by Jims brand new Massey Ferguson 35...the one with the grey panelling and the copper coloured engine.

    Jim was contracted to till some fields for Arthur J Cope who, among other things, had a farm at Hobartstown.

    Thanks for your patience Jim!

  • you really pull at the old heart strings there.. thankyou...

  • the graney man is a legend!
