Dingle lost a rare old character with the death last Wednesday of Timmy Kelliher from Milltown, who was known by everybody and brought a smile wherever he went. Timmy was a particularly sociable man who would chat away for hours with anybody who cared to join him, preferably at the counter in Curran's or maybe McCarthy's or Foxy John's. He had a great interest in people, regardless of their age, who they were, or where they came from. He saw all people as equal, but he didn't have much time for people who had notions about themselves, and this is how he came to have a memorable part in the lore surrounding 'Ryan's Daughter'.
