Some Time to Kill: Memories of Kill Village

by Tony Carr

This book is a beautiful memoir and tribute to the people of Kill. It recalls an Ireland of the fifties, a time before the Naas Duel Carriage way and commuter traffic. Through a combination of short stories and anecdotes, the people of Kill and their sense of community spirit are vividly brought to life. The book provides an interesting and often amusing social history of the time. It includes information on some of the leading political figures who were from Kill, including two Ministers for Finance, Gerry Sweetman and Charlie McCreevy. It also mentions the late Patsy Lawlor, Ted and Ruby Walsh and Liam O Flynn as other prominent figures to emerge from Kill. Some Time to Kill reflects the happy memories, pride and love Tony Carr had for this small village. It is a pleasure to read.
