In Cathy Joint Labath's excerpts from the Connaught Journal of 23/8/1824 there is mention of a Denis Clarke being nominated as one of the Committee to forward the interest of the Hibernian Joint Stock Annuity and Banking Company. Does any Lister know anything about this Denis Clarke, or have a connection to him? Was he from Galway / County Galway? Thankyou Cathy for posting these interesting snippets.
