Fine Gael Leader Enda Kenny has welcomed confirmation from the Health Service Executive that the civil registration service in Mayo will be restored. The former registrar for the county has retired recently and any ceremonies were carried out with assistance from registrars in other neighbouring counties; however, this was unable to continue because of the workload involved.

An existing staff member will be redeployed to the civil registration service and they will commence covering the area on Monday, 16 August 2010.

But back in the 50s and 60s its name struck terror in the hearts of most boys and youths. I remember seeing a boy handcuffed to a policeman sitting on the Dublin train. Word was whispered around the carriage that the boy was from Letterfrack. We all stared at him as if the poor fellow was an alien.
