BROWNE RETURNS TO ROOTS, BURTON ON THE WAY

BY BRENDAN MEEHAN

TV show host Vincent Browne was seen admiring the Community Garden yesterday and Minister Joan Burton will visit on July 10th.

The Minister for Social Protection is coming to officially open the garden which is fast becoming a beacon of hard work and solidarity as residents continue their work on the project.

The garden currently has eight seed-beds and it’s located at the rear of the community centre.

“It’s open to all. Don’t hesitate to come along any Monday or Wednesday from 2pm,” says Paddy Flannery, Community Enterprise Centre manager. “All are welcome.”

Eileen Sheehan's story on the RTE Player

If you missed seeing the RTE 1 show featuring Eileen Sheehan last Monday, you can watch it on the RTE Player here: http://www.rte.ie/player/#v=1098494
Apart from the programme being a tribute to Eileen's "courage" as author Alice Leahy put it, the programme showed Moyross in a positive light. 
As one local put it, "They had only one shot with a horse in it and every house you saw had its windows in."
Our congratulations to Eileen who told her story honestly. She also corrected Alice when she misspelt Moyross which was funny because Alice was supposed to be helping Eileen with her writing.
As Alice said, everyone is learning.
