Yes. As someone pointed out, there's been a time lag on this one - -I thought I was posting new news, but it happened on 29th July. The letter from Leonard Cohen is so touching. Radio 4 Today had a short feature about it this morning.

And only a few weeks after Leo Brennan, father of Ciaran, Pol and Moya and owner of Leo's Tavern, died at the age of 90. Sad times indeed for the Clannad families and friends.  Cry

I believe Leo was actually Padraig and Noel's father, and grandfather of Ciaran, Pol and Moya.

Very sad, although they are together now.  Poor Orlando.

It was such a joy to see that reunion a few years back.  I miss 'em.
