Lough Key Boats – Pete Walsh Boat Regatta 2017

• A highlight was Danny Shanley’s very informative, well researched and humorous commentary throughout the trip … a text version with photos would make a valuable and saleable asset to locals and visitors to the area.
• Funds collected from the trip will be donated to the Shout Charity

Cigarettes – €20 a pack?

A packet of 20 cigarettes costs roughly €13, and raising this by around €1.17 a pack in the next six Budgets would mean the price of a pack would reach €20.
According to the IHF (Irish Heart Foundation), around 20% of people in Ireland over the age of 16 – around 800,000 people – are current smokers. Department of Health figures also suggest the number of adults smoking in Ireland has declined by around 80,000 in the past few years.

Ardcarne Garden Centre

What a lovely spell of weather we’re having! It’s a great time to enjoy the garden in all its summer finery. As usual you’ll find plenty of inspiration for your garden here at Ardcarne Garden Centre, especially our amazing plant selection. One of the stars of the late summer garden is the hydrangea with its enormous flower heads in a range of sumptuous shades. Roses too are looking fabulous just now and it’s lovely to be able to select a variety in flower. Just a reminder that you can plant container-grown plants now and indeed right through the year. Just remember to water them thoroughly when planting and during dry spells until they establish.

The Crescent Bye-Laws

Following several years of lobbying (and pleading), Roscommon Co Councillors passed the new bye laws for trading on the Crescent and other site in the county
Roscommon councillors have 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.
