If one was to sum up the essence of the life of Alfie Byrne who passed away on Saturday, 7 January, it would be in the words ‘work’ and ‘family’.
Alfie lived a simple but colourful life. Born in Priestnewtown, Delgany, Co. Wicklow, he joined the Defence Forces in Dublin, later transferring to Columb Barracks in Mullingar.
