Eily’s Report – 26th July

Dia is Mhuire díobh go léir a chairde and welcome to my report.

Anybody looking at the web would have to say that we are a community apart. Helped along by suitable weather it is a pleasure to see so many out-door events being held. There is something about the out-of-doors that makes a difference. Lots of fundraising for good causes and enjoyable things for folks to take part in.  Having spent more than two years undercover it’s a real pleasure to see communities organising events, in some cases brand new events, different things starting up by young people  which can give an injection of new life in the years to come.  Take young Neil Corkery, son of Sheila and Neily at his beautiful new residence in Cloghoula, himself and his wife Noreen started up a Pony Trekking business. Pony trekking is new in the area and judging by the interest in it. it will grow and flourish in the years ahead. At the start of the school holidays  this year, they held a pony camp which proved extremely popular with the youngsters.  As well as rides Neil had a wide range program of games for them, all with an equestrian theme. Last week five of his ponies took part in the Pony Young Riders competitions at the Green Glens and with great success. The business is proving very popular not only with  the Irish, but also with tourists from many parts of America. From base in Cloghoula, visitors are taken on the scenic route over the local hills and  shady forestry ways. Their service provides riding lessons for beginners at a young age. Plus livery services, which means they will stable ponies for those who have no place to keep one at home. More and more people are showing an interest in this new and welcome service in our parish. If you would like to learn more, give Neil a ring 087 272 7759. In closing I want to wish Neil and Noreen continued success for the future.
