Town Plan & Town Revitalisation meetings
Monday 10th November: Two meetings were held in King House. It is important to note the both were heavily influenced by Roscommon Co Council, and we should thank Council Officials for their interest and involvement in a future for Boyle. It was also noteworthy that in addition to interested locals, a number of politicians were present, for these are the people who will be able to vote in favour of changes on our behalf
6.30-8pm: Boyle Town Plan. The audience were divided into discussion groups, each chaired by a council official. 16 headers questions were answered by each group that will be collated and a list of recommendations offered in the formulation of a current Town Plan
8pm-10.30pm: Town Revitalisation. Acting County Manager Tommy Ryan introduced a presentation by Retail Design Specialist Ann Marie O’Connell, who gave a detailed audio-visual presentation on the Revitalisation programme.
"We want our community to have a town to be proud of. We aim to support the creation of jobs, facilitate start-up business and above all re-instill the pride we all should have for "Our Town". Effective change will come from within."

Mick is heading home from the pub & decides to go ice fishing. He starts to make a circular cut in the ice. Suddenly…from the on high…a voice booms, "THERE ARE NO FISH UNDER THE ICE!" Startled, Paddy moves further down the ice & begins to cut another fishing hole.The voice speaks once more: "THERE ARE NO FISH UNDER THE ICE!" Paddy stops, looks skyward, and says, " Is that you LORD?"
The voice replies, "No, this is the the Ice-Arena Manager!" | |
'The Rockingham Projects'

Sean Rafferty, grandson of the late Pat Flanagan has created a great new website, a resource for information about aspects of the past in our area.
'The Rockingham Project' is a documentation of the projects carried out by Sean Rafferty relating to the site of the former Rockingham Demesne. The website is in the early stages of its development, but will continue to grow over time as further projects are carried out. It is intended that the website can eventually be both a reference point and repository for locals and outsiders; a place to view and contribute documents, articles, videos and other ephemera relating to the multi-layered cultural, social and historical landscape of Rockingham.
