On Wednesday, April 16, the An Gárda Síochána Community Van visited local areas as part of their community engagement initiative to engage with any of the community who needed help to complete forms, discuss concerns, report a crime, or any other business that requires Gárda attention.
To our neighbours, The Comeragh Community Development Group, recent winners at the 2025 Forestry Awards winning the RDS Woodland Award with the development of The Crough Wood Walk that is so beneficial for the local community and visitors alike. We appreciate how hard you have all worked to get such a wonderful project accepted for a national award.
Thanks to all the promoters who have been getting their cards filled for the parish draw that is due to start after Easter. There is still time if you have not already joined. It costs €20 for 12 weeks. This is the main fundraiser for the parish that supports the cost of maintenance, insurance and all other outlays. There are still cards available at the sacristy of the three churches. If you are not in you cannot win!!
A showery morning meant that the market was back inside the Cove Bar on Saturday. The tables were filled with lots of fresh fruit and veg and baskets filled with brown/ white bread, scones, tarts, buns and sausage rolls. There also was jams, lemoncurd, marmalade, relish cards and prints. If you would like to pre order any of the above just call Margaret on 087 6337215 just drop by and pick up.
