We spoke to Ned in the company of his wife Anna, in their lovely sitting room with a roaring fire in Mullinavat village in recent times. Born 90 years ago, Edward ‘Ned’ Delahunty was one of eight children born in Ballinakill, a small townland near the famous South Kilkenny landmark of Tory Hill in the Mullinavat parish. A farmer’s son, his parents, John and Catherine, farmed 160 acres in different parts of the parish and also in Templeroum parish.
