    By Noreen Bowden | August 6, 2008

    The Mayo News reports that Fr Ludden cultivated links between the Castlebar Associations in London, Birmingham and elsewhere. Johnny Mee, a friend and Castlebar Labour councillor said, “He was a great man for the Irish Apostolate in London and a regular visitor to their annual get-together”.
