Mhó Clannad na nGael é, Seán de Bharra. Fuair do bás ar son an Síochána in NYC.
To a member of the Barry family, John Barry, who died while keeping the peace in NYC.
I want to recite a prayer for you from my home in Tipperary, Ireland.

Soul of Christ, sanctify me.
Body of Christ, save me.
Blood of Christ, inebriate me.
Water from the side of Christ, wash me.
Passion of Christ, strengthen me.
O good Jesus, hear me.
Within Thy wounds, hide me.
Never let me be separated from Thee.
From the malignant enemy, defend me.
At the hour of my death, call me.
And bid me come unto Thee.
That with Thy saints I may praise Thee forever and ever, Amen.

I have felt the need to support officers from the Barry Clan who have fallen, my father has relatives in New York, in the Police.
The Barry clan is Unique we all trace back to the one area in North France, Normandy in fact. Earls of Normandy. Moved and settled in Britain and then Ireland. The Barry's became as Irish as the Irish we formed Dun Las (Strongholds) all over Munster, started with Cork, then Limerick and Tipperary Clare, eventually headed to Dublin. Then the USA.
The Barry family is one blood.
An Clannad de Barra na nGael.
( The Irish Barry Family.)

I joined this to help support my family.
Ar dheis Dé go raibh do anama uasal.

Slán Abhaile leat.
Is mise, le meas,
