Thank you for the queries, messages etc. Yes… that new construction site in Drumsna is .. The Playground!!!It is very exciting and the result of a lot of commitment, hard work and fundraising by all the volunteers on Drumsna Development Association (DDA) with the support and backing of Leitrim County Council  (&the Leitrim Dev Company, at its’ proposal phase).While we in DDA still have a small bit of fundraising to undertake to complete the Garden of Remembrance, it is hoped we will be on the swings pretty soon !!!!!The plans also include additional footpaths and lighting in the area and a new pedestrian footpath & lights towards The Grange housing estate.

Official opening of Maggie Madden’s exhibition “Far and Wide” & John Brady’s exhibtion “Travelling, Drawing “  tonight at the Dock.  Certainly worth a visit !!! Maggie Madden’s work is a diverse array of collected materials, crafted into fragile sculptural formations with geometric affinities & John Brady’s work, a collection of sketch books from his travels, is grounded in a commitment to seeing and encountering people and places in fresh, unmediated ways.

Leitrim Village’s “Mid Summer Festival” was officially opened this evening. It was a pleasure to deputise for the Cathaoirleach. The festival runs all weekend, loads of events & entertainment, a celebration of the 20th anniversary of the re-opening of the Shannon-Erne waterway.
