Great News this week!
It has been announced that the State is to buy lands around Castletown House.
Hopefully, the N4 access and car park will be restored, making it possible for most of us to enjoy the house and parklands in future.
Presentation Day
Greetings to the Presentation Sisters this Friday 21st, as they celebrate Presentation Day.
We remember all those who passed through the Lucan Convent over the years.
Congratulations to St. Mary's Camera Soiree , on their recent exhibition - some very beautiful and clever photos on show from 13 members.
Readers often remark our weekly back page, with random pictures from various members - seems it's looked forward to every week!
Roadworks!
Some clever wag had this picture up on face book during the week!
How true!!!
Flooding 15th November 2025 - the pictures say it all ....
Could we have been right about the water feature below?
Storm Claudia made her presence felt!
Are we to expect more delays to all the works ongoing?
No doubt Claudia will be to blame this time!!!!
St. Mary's Camera Soiree
The Camera Soiree's 13th exhibition is over and I think I can safely say that it was a great success. We were lucky that the rain had cleared by the time the exhibition was due to open! Lovely compliments were paid to the photographers by the many people who came to see the exhibition and already there have been over 100 viewings of the exhibition video on the group’s YouTube channel. The link to the YouTube channel is https://youtu.be/dJUNXaxpYWo.
This week Michael G submitted a photograph of the current state of the other plaza which is being created opposite the Maxol garage. As with the village green it is hard to work out what it will be if it is ever finished!
Anna submitted a beautiful photograph she took at sunset on last Sunday evening at the Papal Cross.
Donal gave us a nice autumnal shot which he describes as Hermitage 10th
Joe got to Skerries and submitted a photo of one of the windmills there. There are two windmills and a watermill on the site.
The three mills are designated as national monuments. The small windmill is dated to 1525 and the Great windmill is dated to 1750. They were used for grinding wheat, oats and barley. The watermill dates from the 13th century.
The history of milling in Skerries can be traced back to the 12th century when the area was under the ownership of the Priory of Holmpatrick, an Augustinian monastic foundation.
Until next week stay safe!
