His mother, Brigid, taught in Co. Tyrone and then in Emlaghnaghten and in Rathmullan. They made a huge and lasting contribution to the life of this area.
"In an article in the Corran Herald, Eamon himself wrote 'I am regularly amazed and gratified that long after their departures from this world, so many people speak of them as if they were still part of the fabric of life in the parishes of Ballymote and Keash and indeed of Co Sligo. And of course his aunt Mary Alice Coleman played a large part in school and community life here too.
