Green Isle Factory
Speculation and rumours for the past week have been confirmed. Sale of the Greatmeadow Green Isle factory to a particular interested party will not go ahead. All is not lost though ... a senior political figure has suggested to me that an investor is interested in the property.
• During these early days of 2015 we must hope that before the end of the year buyers will be found for the Green Isle factory and the Royal Hotel. 2015 may also be the year that will have our Boil Water notice lifted.

Thank You from Boyle TM
Boyle Town and More thanked everyone in Mattimoe's prior to the Chamber Draw for all their help with the Christmas Lights and all who assisted in their fundraising efforts during the year (Good Friday Quiz and Christmas Mega Draw).
• While the purchase of the lights for the town cost €25,000, the Christmas draw raised €9,600 and last year’s Good Friday ‘Bright Sparks Quiz’ raised €3,000 - so they are half way there with the loan in year one! Boyle TM especially thanked all the 50 sponsors who donated prizes to the Draw, the 100 business’ who sold numerous cards and the 30 plus individuals who took cards to sell to their families and friends and last but not least the thousands who bought lines to support fundraising for the lights.
• The gathering took place prior to the Boyle Chamber Lotto and sponsors and supporters were there as was many of the 30 volunteers in the Community who did a super job on erecting the lights. All enjoyed their night, before embarking on the arduous task of taking down the bright lights of Boyle!
• Mark your Calendars for Friday 3rd April – The Good Friday Bright Sparks Quiz!

There is always space on realboyle for photos of our local attractions. The photo above is a lightly stylised image of our 'Gaelic Chieftain' on the N4.
• History: The Battle of Curlew Pass was fought on the 15th of August 1599, during the campaign of the Earl of Essex in the Nine Years' War, between an English force under Sir Conyers Clifford and a rebel Irish force led by Hugh Roe O'Donnell. The English forces were ambushed and routed while marching through a pass in the Curlew Mountains, near the town of Boyle. The English forces suffered heavy casualties, reputedly 500 were killed. Losses by allied Irish forces were not recorded but were probably minimal
• Maurice Harron's metal sculpture 'Gaelic Chieftain' statue overlooks the battlefield today. Derry man Maurice Harron lived in the Boyle area some years ago and commuted to Roscommon Convent where he was employed as an Art Teacher.
