King House wrote: "Our summer programme continues in King House with Seamus O’Rourke’s latest play “Indigestion”, this Friday 10th July at 8pm. The writer, actor and director has strong links with The Cornmill Theatre group and most recently performed alongside Michael Harding in the Gaiety Theatre’s "The Field". Seamus has performed in The Sand Park previously at King House and has not only written, but also performs in "Indigestion". This fella's a serious talent!

Have you established yourself and developed a successful business in another country? If the answer is 'yes', then Boyle needs you!
• Boyle is a great little town, very well placed geographically in the West of Ireland. However at this post-recessionary time and assisted with the ebb and flow of the business life, our town is experiencing a number of closures. Empty shop fronts are a noticeable feature on every street.
• I suspect many of our traders are hurting - and battle weary (maybe that's not the right word!).
• YOUR INPUT, vision and current success would be most welcome here, whether for advice or as a guiding/helping hand. Maybe you will consider returning to the 'ould sod', start a branch of your business here, or get involved in Boyle's future...
• YOUR REPLIES/COMMENTS will be welcome (through me if you wish) -sean@realboyle.com. I will pass them to a relevant local authority, organisation or club.

The Weather
Rainbow over Boyle Canal Monday 6th July
Barbeques and lazy days in the sun will be off the menu this week as Ireland braces itself for wind and rain. The pleasant sunshine of recent weeks will be but a distant memory for the foreseeable future as the usual Irish summer weather makes an unwelcome return.
Today will bring more grey weather, with forecasters warning that the miserable conditions show no sign of improving. "What we are going to have is a very mixed picture this week," said Met Eireann's David Rodgers.

Did you know?
Shannnonside.ie report: The average civil servant took 10.1 sick days last year. The Department of Public Expenditure and Reform says that’s a slight fall from 10.3 days in 2013 ... saving the government around 100 million euro last year.
It would be interesting to know the sick day figures for the self employed !!

Lough Key Forest Park Play Day
Sunday 5th July: Fabulous 'creatures' were on view at a number of locations around Lough Key Forest Park. For many the giant Spiderman and the Flying 'Pig' were sensational
The weather held beautifully, apart from one single shower, and literally thousands of people were present to enjoy the 8th annual National Play Day. Congratulations to all of the park management, staff, exhibition personnel and all involved in this great day in beautiful Lough Key Forest Park.
