Whist
Well done to the Thursday night whist players who raised € 325 for the building fund. Thanks to Gerry and the teamakers. The whist is on every Thursday night in the Columban Hall from 8:30—11pm.

St Patrick’s Day Parade
A very disappointing turnout for the public meeting held by the St. Patrick’s Day Parade committee on Wednesday the 6th of June has led to the cancellation of next years parade. The committee agreed that it was obvious that the community were not interested in the continuation of the parade so therefore they had no option but to resign from this committee. The group have decided to stay together to organise the Christmas lights and the Santa evening for the children. This event will take place as usual.
