Groom Brian Kelly (left) and his missing Best Man Ed Costello, 1973
Many years ago when Brian wed
He was backed up by his best man Ed
But Ed had to go
And Brian wants to know
Where his old friend now lays his head.

Independent Leitrim Councillor Des Guckian talking to Newstalk this morning after Leitrim councillors passed his motion opposed to “any attempts to repeal or water down the Eighth Amendment to the Constitution” [which provides for a constitutional ban on abortion].
