Tá Boyle Motor Works ar cheann dena háiteanna móra le rá i Mainistir na Búille le fada an lá.
Sa bhliain 1980 cheannaigh Vincent agus Sheila Mc Donagh an garáiste sin chomh maith leis na Caidéil Peipril a bhí ós comhair an gharáiste.
D’éirigh go maith leo thar na mblianta agus is iomaí duine a bhí buíoch dóibh as ucht an tseirbhís a chuir siad ar fáil.
Sa bhliain 2004 d’oscail siad siopa san áit agus bhí an teaghlach ag rith an gharáiste agus an siopa ar feadh ceithre bliana déag.
Ansin tháinig athrú eile ar an áit. Sa bhliain 2018 thóg Corrib Oil an siopa agus na caidéil peitril ar chíos uatha.
Tá Boyle Motor Works ann i gcónaí ach is Ionad Boinn Gluaisteáin atá ann anois agus é ar fáil ar chúl an tsiopa. Is iad Gary agus Adrian, clann mhac Vincent agus Sheila atá á rith. Go fada buan a mhairfidh siad.
Bhí mé ag caint le Sheila le gairid agus chuir sé áthas orm nach bhfuil dearmad déanta aici ar an ngaeilge a d’fhoghlaim sí ar scoil ina hóige.
Slán go fóill.

“Seussical The Musical”

I attended this sensational Scoil na nAingeal (Boyle) show in St. Joseph’s Hall … WOW … 270 national school kids … not a line was missed, not a song or dance move anything less than brilliant !!!
Three months planning, learning, rehearsing by Boyle’s Treasures, Viv Moran, Lizi Hannon, performers as well as teachers,  sound, lighting, backstage and front of house personnel all combined to produce a memorable experience that drew a well-deserved Standing Ovation response from a full house, delighted, audience.

10.40pm, Monday 10th February, 2020 … a time to remember !!

Frankie & Elaine Feighan (“We Did It” photo from Frankie’s Facebook page)

At 10.40pm, Monday 10th February, 2020, Boyle man, Senator Frankie Feighan (Fine Gael) was declared elected as a TD for the Sligo, Leitrim, Sth Donegal, Nth Roscommon constituency following the 15th count in the Sligo Park Hotel Count Centre.
All four seats were declared filled with Frank and Fianna Fáil’s Marc MacSharry completing the line up alongside Martin Kenny (Sinn Féin) and Marian Harkin (Independent).
• Following his victory speech, a delighted, grateful Frank gave those assembled a verse of “Oh, What A Beautiful Morning”
• The General Election Result put Fianna Fáil’s seat total at 38, just one ahead of Sinn Féin on 37 and three ahead of Fine Gael on 35, but since Fianna Fáil’s Seán Ó Fearghaíl was re-elected without contest as Ceann Comhairle, both of the top two parties essentially won the same number of seats.
• The 33rd Dáil is set to convene on Thursday 20th February, but it is likely to be some time before a new government is formed, with coalition talks expected to be protracted and difficult.

Webcam on the Crescent?

The suggestion that a webcam might be installed on The Crescent, facing down towards Bridge Street is a good one. I would suggest that our Chamber of Commerce or Town Team add the suggestion to their plans for a further Boyle ‘attention grabber’ that would appeal to locals and our diaspora. Now that Trader Parking Laws have been adopted and will hopefully be policed, events on the Crescent and Bridge Street including the St. Patrick’s Day Parade, Festivals, Cycling etc as well as everyday movements could be viewed worldwide. Permission would have to be sought from the owners of premises for placement of such a webcam …

Chuaigh mé isteach i siopa Sheerins, Sráid Phadraig Dé Sathairn seo caite. Bhí rud eigin ag teastáil uaim. Is breá liom an siopa seo mar cuireann sé i gcuimhne dom mar a bhíodh siopaí le linn m’óige.
Cé nach siopa mór é tá sé lán d’eadaí deasa. Tá eadaí do mhná, a’fhir, do pháistí agus do leanaí ann. Tá siad ar fad go hálainn. Dioltar éide scoile ann freisin.
D’inis Geraldine, bean an tsiopa anois,  gurbh í a máthair Lily a d’oscail an siopa seo sa bhliain 1934 agus go bhfuil  sé i seilbh mhuintir Sheerin ó shoin. Cabhraíonn a híníon Majella léi i rith an tsamhraidh nuair a bhíonn an siopa gnóthach. Is breá le Geraldine na giotaí Gaeilge seo a léamh. Slán go fóill.

Boyle Town Bridges

Abbeytown Bridge is one of the oldest of its kind in Ireland. It was built between 1190 and 1220 when the Abbey was founded.
Town Centre Bridge: Triple-arch stone bridge, built c.1864 for the sum of £500, half paid by the county and half by Lord Lorton, replacing a 5-arched bridge
Abbey Terrace Bridge was built in 1817

Woodenbridge ‘Marina’, adjacent to the new Boyle Cycleway.

• Once upon a time, this was a favoured location for parking boat cruisers as well as a fishing stand and a location for barbeques. Sadly it is now deserted and in need of repair. The steel barriers fell several weeks ago and have not been attended to by either Roscommon Co Council or Waterways Ireland.

“Today’s ceremony performed by Sean Mulryan is a major step forward for this wonderful facility. The Roscommon Hospice will be an 8 Bed In-Patient Unit providing respite and end of life services along with Day Care and Community Care…”

Ag tús na seachtaine seo bhuail mé le John Murphy sa bhliain Open Table. Tá sean aithne agam ar John le fada agus d’inis sé scéal a bheatha dom.
Rugadh agus tógadh John i mBaile Átha Cliath. Chaith sé ocht mbliana déag ina shaighdiúr singil sa chéad Chathlán i nDún Mhaoilíosa i nGaillimh. Gaeilge amháin a d’úsáid an Chathlán seo.
Bhuail sé le Maura, an bhean a phós sé sa bhliain 1967 agus tá siad ina gcónaí i Mainistir na Búille ó shin.
Bhí sé ar dhuine de na saighdiúirí Éireannacha a d’fhreastal sa Chongo mar chuid den Fhórsa Síochána na Náisiúin Aontaithe sa bhliain 1960. Chonaic sé rudaí uafásacha ag tarlú san áit sin. Bhí an t-ádh leis teacht abhaile slán. Fad saoil John.

Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism.

Cuirimis fáilte roimh an mbliain nua. Tá súil agam go mbeidh 2020 ina bliain rathúil agaibh go léir.
Le linn na Nollag bhí a lán daoine  ag freastal  ar Aifreann nó ar sheirbhísí eaglasta sa séipéal áitiúil. An Séipéal. Tháinig an focal sin ón Fhraincís fadó fadó. Teach an Phobail a thugtaí ar an séipéal áitiúil nuair a bhí mise óg. Bhí an t- ainm sin ciallmhar i mo thuairimse mar gurbh ann a thagadh an pobal áitiúil le chéile uair sa tseachtain, an áit a mbuaileadh cairde agus gaolta le chéile agus is ann a chloistí nuacht an cheantair. Is ann freisin a ndéantaí ceiliúradh  baistí,  póstaí agus  socraidí. B’fheidir go raibh ciall leis an teideal  Teach an Phobail.

Tháinig daoine muinteartha abhaile go dtí a dtuismitheoirí nó go dtí a gcairde ag iompar bronntanaisí agus dea- mhéine.
Bhí ceiliúradh agus am só i ngach teach ar bhealach amháin nó ar bhealach eile.
Níor tháinig aon sneachta. Ní raibh Nollaig bhán againn ach ní raibh an aimsir go dona.

Question: Can taxis charge higher fares over Christmas and New Year?
Answer: Yes, taxis can charge more on certain days over Christmas. Drivers have the right to charge the maximum amount calculated on the meter, or a lower amount at their discretion. However, you can always ask for a discount before engaging a taxi.

Boyle Employment

My school book “Outline Geography of Ireland” defined Boyle as a Thriving Market Town. When I read that the smaller town, Drumshanbo in Co Leitrim is to get a second Food Hub with 50 employed, I wonder whether Boyle lives up to its “Thriving Market Town” definition. It has been a long time since we heard of another 50 job opportunities announcement for the “Town We Love So Well”. Certainly, we have some great traders and businesses here in Boyle, but a friend suggested to me recently “The (alleged) Curse of St. Patrick said that Boyle would never prosper”. Maybe the time has come to call on St. Patrick to lift the curse, and allow us to move to greater heights !!

Know Your Rights: Patient Advocacy Service

Question: I was in hospital recently and I was not happy with my experience there. When I complained to the nurse in charge I wasn’t satisfied with the response. How can I take my complaint further?

The Crescent Bye-Laws – no apparent progress!

July 2019: “Following several years of lobbying (and pleading), Roscommon Co Councillors passed the new bye-laws for trading on the Crescent and other sites in the county. Roscommon councillors voted by a majority of 15 to 2 to bring in casual trading laws for the county after the issue was first mooted more than a decade ago. The bye-laws will apply to all towns in the county and cover issues like goods that may be traded, designated trading areas and trading times, insurance requirements and parking of vehicles.”
October 2019: Surprise, Surprise! Despite the passing of the bye-laws Roscommon CoCo, Boyle’s Chamber of Commerce and Town Team do not appear to have actioned them or called for policing them
