JFC Centre, Carrick Road, Boyle

July 2019: “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 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 and called for policing them

Question: I am unhappy with the repair work a builder has done to my house, he hasn’t fixed the issue and he refuses to put it right. Do I have any rights in this situation?

Boyle Brochures – where are they?

A realboyle.com viewer wrote “Sean, where can I get Boyle Brochures”. I went to the Úna Bhán Tourism Gift Shop to see what is available. I was disappointed to find that there are only two:-
A folded Lakelends Waterways map and a Boyle/Lough Key Visitors Map & Moone Boy Trail. Boyle TM (Chamber of Commerce) produced both several years ago. Both are now out of date and contain mistakes and should receive makeovers
