I will be sad to leave Glenfarne Community Development Trust Ltd and MacNean Tourism on Friday. Thank you to my employer, Arigna LEADER and to Margaret Sharkey for her kindness, I will miss her.

Many thanks to Seán McDermott, Chairperson; I appreciate all of the interesting opportunities that he gave me, such as the various Tourism and Rainbow Restoration meetings. I also enjoyed working with Pauline Gilmartin, Tourism Project Officer when she was here. Thanks to the committee members; Seán McDermott, Gerard McMorrow, Gerry Finneran, Margaret Harkin, Mary Fee, Seamus Dolan, Patricia McDermott, Susan McDermott, Martina Guckian McGovern and Ann McDermott. Thank you to Mickey McMorrow and Gerry Gannon for their help.

Glenfarne suffered heavy flooding and landslides last night after severe weather conditions.

Heavy rain for most of yesterday resulted in a number of homes being flooded in the area and the main N16 road was blocked as the local river burst its banks.

On Monday, 22nd June 2008 we crossed the finishing line in brilliant sunshine after completing the 10k Flora Women’s Mini Marathon.

Our time was one hour 47 minutes.

To date we have raised approximately €1500 in aid of The Irish Cancer Society.Our sincere thanks to everybody for your generous donations and we appreciate your support. All the money goes towards Cancer Research.

We walked this Marathon in memory of our beloved Seamus, who passed way over two years ago from a year long battle with Pancreatic Cancer. It was an extremely sad time for us all, but despite his ordeal, Seamus fought his illness with such strength and bravery. He was, and always will be our Shining Light. We miss him every day.
