01 Cloone note

Cloone

  • Holy wells
  • Mummers
  • Pubs
  • Parade
  • Old photos
  • This Cloone bulletin covers late June and the main summer 2026 notices.
  • Family Mass was listed for St Mary's Church, Cloone on Sunday 21 June at 11.30am, noted by a Fatima National School Parents Association coffee and tea morning in Cloone Community Centre.
  • Cloone/Aughavas Community Playschool is taking September 2026 bookings in the community centre, Monday to Friday, 9am to 12 noon.
  • The parish notice also recorded that Cloone's digital church bell system has been replaced, with the project cost listed at EUR4,740.80.
  • Cloone Community Centre carried the Leitrim Cycling Festival's 10th weekend from 8 to 10 May 2026 as a hands-on village weekend not a passing cycle stop.
  • The programme brought film screenings, a kids bike-powered disco, art workshops, storytelling, shared meals, pizza, curry, cake and a boxty breakfast into the centre.
  • Bóthar na Naomh was used for scavenger hunts, bicycle orienteering and the launch cycle, and Creegan's Pub was named for a Friday night traditional music session.
  • The next dated outdoor item is Bóthar Na Naomh Adventure Duathlon on Saturday 1 August 2026, with event HQ at Cloone Community Centre.
  • The race listing gives a 2.5km trail run on Bóthar Na Naomh, 20km road cycle, 5km adventure trail run, adult 5km adventure run, kids' 5km trail run for ages 7 to 15, and a two-person team option.

  • Cloone Agricultural Show has Dream Draw tickets available through Creegan's, McKeon's and committee routes.
  • The same run of notices puts the school coffee morning, Mass, show draw, pubs and community centre into the same practical parish bulletin.
  • Cloone Homecoming is a useful place for reunion and local-memory notices, while Cloone Tidy Towns carries village-care updates.
  • Cloone GAA has older and newer club notices in use, so football notes may appear in more than one place.
  • Cloone Haunted Trail and Cloone St Patrick's Parade are seasonal community notices; the parade notice lists the inaugural Cloone St Patrick's Day Parade for Tuesday 17 March 2026.
  • There is also a county heritage item that fits Cloone and other parishes with holy-well records.
  • Leitrim County Council's 2026 Holy Wells Project is collecting existing information and oral histories about holy wells across the county and is seeking volunteers from individuals and community groups.
  • Cloone has older public holy-well records through the Schools' Collection and National Library material, including St Creigharee's Well, so this is a current volunteer heritage lead not only an archive note.

02 Fenagh note

Fenagh

  • Drama
  • Abbey
  • Handball
  • Soft play
  • Childcare
  • Fenagh Visitor Centre carries much of the village's ordinary week.
  • Fenagh.com lists the centre as home to the Monk's Den soft play centre, the Dolmen Cafe and Fenagh Heritage Centre, and the current public routine is very clear: progressive 25 cards on Thursdays from 8pm, Parent, Baby & Toddler mornings on Fridays from 10am to 12 noon, Active Age on Mondays at 3pm, gentle exercise for seniors on Thursdays from 2pm to 3pm, yoga on Thursdays at 8pm in Fenagh Community Centre, Pilates on Wednesdays at 7pm and 8pm, and table tennis on Mondays at 7.30pm.
  • The centre also keeps Monks' Den play slots visible, so it is not only a visitor space; it is where children, parents, older people, card players, cafe users and heritage visitors overlap.
  • The village-care side sits close to the same building.
  • Fenagh.com's groups page names Tidy Towns, Book Club and Parent & Toddler as local groups, and recent Tidy Towns notices have work sessions on Tuesdays at 6.30pm, meeting at the Visitor Centre.
  • Fenagh Women's Group Bonfire Night was advertised for Fenagh GAA Pitch on Tuesday 23 June 2026, 7.30pm to 10pm, with music, dancing, food and a North West Hospice bucket collection.
  • This gives Fenagh a social summer note as well as the weekly classes.
  • Fenagh St Caillin's GAA is the other working strand.
  • The club is founded 1888, with the club and Leitrim GAA notices carrying All County League and Reserve League fixtures around Fenagh, Allen Gaels, Melvin Gaels, Carrigallen and Mohill.

  • Fenagh Visitor Centre is a regular family, cafe and heritage base.
  • Discover Ireland describes the Monk's Den as a three-tier monastery-themed soft-play area with a separate toddler area, plus the Dolmen Cafe, heritage photographs, explanations, maps, Fenagh Abbey tour booking, free parking and meeting/training space for up to 30 people.

  • The public festival trail carries street entertainment, live music, parades, Stylish Silage and family-friendly activity, putting swim safety at Corry Strand beside An Tostal, Comhaltas/music, Acres Lake, Lough Allen Adventure, the Mayflower sports hub and the everyday shops and services around the town.
  • An Tostal is not only a date in the diary: it is the old town festival still running every year since 1953, the only place where the original national An Tostal idea kept going continuously.
  • The 2026 week is described around family fun, history, heritage, arts, culture and food.
  • A recent preview says the week usually gathers an opening parade through town, An Tostal Colleen, family fun day, live music sessions, street performances, water-based activity at Acres Lake, food and craft, table quiz and fundraising nights in local pubs, and fireworks to close.
  • Stylish Silage gives the town a visible trail before the first music starts, while Corry Strand, Acres Lake, Comhaltas, Lough Allen Adventure, the Mayflower, pubs, shops and water-safety classes make Drumshanbo's festival week read as a whole-town handover to families, music, sport and visitors.
  • The public water-safety notices give Drumshanbo a family-service angle beside the festival.
  • Corry Strand Water Safety is listed for Monday 29 June at 9am, and public local notices also pointed to Drumshanbo Fire Station Open Day on Saturday 20 June from 12.30pm to 3pm.
  • Leitrim Tourism and Discover Ireland both carry An Tostal for 28 June to 4 July, with family fun, heritage, arts, culture and food experiences.
  • Drumshanbo has also a family-service note: it is children in water-safety classes, families at the fire station, Stylish Silage on the streets, Acres Lake activity, Comhaltas, Lough Allen Adventure, pubs and shops all in the same festival-and-safety week.
  • An Tostal Festival notices include sponsor thanks for this year's festival.
  • Mayflower Community Centre in Mahanagh is the practical room: community centre, sports hub, astroturf, running track, handball, volleyball and basketball courts.
  • Drumshanbo Community Sports Hub is based in the Mayflower and lists a three-day Multi-Sport Summer Camp from Monday 29 June to Wednesday 1 July 2026, 10am to 1pm, for 7-12 year olds.

  • Drumshanbo Tidy Towns recently thanked volunteers for watering; Drumshanbo Comhaltas shared the Connacht Fleadh Grand Opening and Five Branches Concert for Thursday 2 July 2026 at Mohill Community College; Drumshanbo-ie - News & Events carries wider town notices.

  • Carrick's civic story is Tidy Towns as much as theatre.
  • Carrick on Shannon Tidy Towns marks the town as Ireland's overall Tidiest Town 2025.
  • Its recent public notes put volunteers, MyCarrick, Leitrim County Council, Leitrim Tourism and Carrick On Shannon Chamber around the same work.
  • The Market Yard feasibility-study day with McCloys Consultants is a good civic breadcrumb because it shows people being asked about the town's next use of space, not only being told about an award.
  • Club and ordinary notices fill out the town.
  • St Mary's Kiltoghert GAA lists Páirc Naomh Mhuire at Attifinlay, a weekly 50/50 draw and a senior team note after retaining the All County League Division 1 title.
  • Carrick on Shannon RFC represents Leitrim and North Roscommon, keeps a local business directory and is running tag rugby at the club grounds.

  • Station House
  • Horse fair
  • Lough Rynn
  • Dragons
  • Mohill hosts Connacht Fleadh 2026 from 28 June to 5 July.

  • Its public listings name counselling, art therapy, play therapy, Foróige Youth Club, Youth Cafe, parent-and-toddler, carers support, parents support, music, dancing, youth discos, cookery and summer camps.
  • The current notices add two very local standing items: Coffee & Chatter on the last Thursday of the month from 10am to 12pm, and Mohill Parent and Toddler every Tuesday morning from 10am to 12pm, with new members welcomed.
  • The garden and town-care notices add the outdoor volunteer side.
  • Mohill Community Garden describes itself as a voluntary working group maintaining and growing vegetables, fruit and trees.
  • Mohill Community Network Tidy Towns carries a current Fleadh welcome trail through the town.
  • Older clean-up notices give the practical rhythm too, with Tuesday evening and Saturday morning clean-ups listed in previous town-care posts.
  • CLG Maothail - Mohill GAA gives the club and pub routine.
  • The club describes itself as a volunteer organisation promoting Gaelic games, culture and wellbeing, based at Philly McGuinness Memorial Park on Hyde Street, with 10 Leitrim senior football titles listed publicly.
  • Its recent 50/50 draw posts are useful small-town detail: entries through town boxes and online, live draw nights at 10.15pm, with recent draws named for The Green Rooster/Cusacks and O'Carolan's Bar.
  • Kelly's Centra also shared the Fleadh countdown, so shops, pubs, GAA and the music week are crossing over in the ordinary town feed.
  • Mohill Library gives a quieter family item inside the same week.
  • The branch is on Castle Street, and Leitrim Library has a Traddlers event for 4-7 year olds with Fionnuala Maxwell on Tuesday 30 June as part of Connacht Fleadh.

06 Ballinamore note

Ballinamore

  • Family Festival
  • Island Theatre
  • Community garden
  • Scouts
  • Golf
  • **Return-week update, 19 July:** Councillors have moved the €7 million historic courthouse redevelopment forward, with plans for a gallery, events venue, creative residencies and tourism point.
  • Stage One's summer music programme begins on 20 July, and the council's proposed Family Festival traffic restrictions cover High Street and Main Street during the 9-16 August festival period.
  • Ballinamore's summer community diary is still built around the Island Theatre and Community Hall, but the hall is more than a show list.
  • Ballinamore Camino is on Saturday 11 July 2026, starting and finishing at the Island Theatre, with 36.5km, 25.5km and 16.5km loops taking in the Shannon-Erne Waterway, Pol an Eas Waterfall, Sliabh an Iarainn, Bencroy Viewing Point and a hot-meal finish.

07 Manorhamilton note

Manorhamilton / Drumkeerin

  • The Glens
  • Mart days
  • Sculpture
  • Greenway
  • Theatre
  • **Return-week update, 19 July:** The PEACEPLUS Arts & Film Training Camp completed its 13-17 July run at The Glens Centre.
  • A fresh the local pages search also found the private Manorhamilton Community Group, which showed 5,400 members and more than 20 posts a day; it is now logged as a high-priority join candidate rather than silently treated as monitored.
  • Manorhamilton's summer arts life is busy, but the everyday town picture starts at Bee Park.
  • BeePark Community Centre on New Line describes its work as economic, cultural and community benefit, and its current notices give a practical mix: free period-poverty supplies in the ladies bathrooms, a charity/sponsorship notice, ALONE volunteer calls for County Leitrim and the kind of community-centre updates that make Bee Park more than a venue.
  • Bee Park is also where the Friday farmers market, North Leitrim Women's Centre and Glencar Manorhamilton GAA all overlap.
  • Manorhamilton Farmers Market is the clearest weekly rhythm.
  • The market runs every Friday from 10am to 2pm at Bee Park Resource Centre.
  • The public market listing says it began in April 2005, supports local producers, moves indoors in winter and is looking to expand with more stalls.
  • Discover Ireland gives the food-and-stall shape: fresh fish, organic meats, artisan coffee and herbal teas, fruit and vegetables, grains and seeds, cheese, olives, preserves, soups, local honey, baked breads, cakes, wood craft, plants, flowers and herbs.
  • Recent market notes even give the small-town coffee-stall detail.
  • North Leitrim Women's Centre gives Manorhamilton a strong support and training line.
  • Its notice says it aims to provide a safe, friendly, welcoming and supportive environment for women, and the service listing adds the practical supports: Well Woman clinic, affordable counselling, courses, training and group activity from the Bee Park Resource Centre area.
  • Leitrim Women Through Time links the Women's Centre with Leitrim Sculpture Centre and Scéal Heritage Consultancy, recording ordinary rural women's lives, factory-floor memories and local women’s history.
  • This puts community care, education and heritage into the same town note as the market.
  • Glencar Manorhamilton GAA gives Bee Park the club activity, with Bee Park listed as the club base, a 50/50 draw link and youth Academy-season material.
  • Manorhamilton Tidy Towns adds the civic line with the older community-against-litter road-sign and town-plan project.
  • Bee Park Community Centre outreach material also names tennis, chess, boxing, Men's Shed, Girls Brigade, women's group and parent-and-toddler activity.
  • The Glens Centre keeps the youth arts line.
  • Rockschool Summer Camp runs from 29 June to 3 July 2026, with a Rockschool Concert on Friday 3 July, and the free PEACEPLUS Arts & Film Training Camp runs 13 to 17 July for ages 13 to 18, built around filmmaking, photography, acting and creative media.
  • Leitrim Sculpture Centre gives the workshop and gallery programme: Hemant Rao's Earthlight, photo-silkscreen, ceramics glazing and darkroom courses keep the making side going.
  • The wider summer board also has Africa Day 2026 at Bee Park, Manorhamilton Community Games, July tennis camps, Leitrim Glens Sportive on Sunday 2 August, Sharon Loughlin's annual fun run/walk from Newtownmanor Hall and the Lissinagroagh Wind Farm planning file for the wider Manorhamilton/Rossinver area.
  • Manorhamilton is Bee Park, market stalls, women's centre, GAA, Tidy Towns, youth arts, sculpture workshops, community games, tennis, boxing, chess, parent-and-toddler activity, Newtownmanor walking and a live planning file in one town note.

08 Leitrim Village note

Leitrim Village

  • Village pump
  • Toddlers
  • ICA
  • Music sessions
  • Greenway
  • Leitrim Village's public week is small but concrete.
  • St Josephs Community Centre has a Creative Youth workshop on Monday 13 July 2026 from 2pm to 5pm for young people aged 11 to 17, with clay, hand-building and glazing.
  • Cruinniu na nOg also placed the 1000 Leaves flipbook animation workshop at St Josephs NS on 6 June, so the school and centre are both showing up as youth-and-art places, not only as buildings.
  • The regular village routine is useful.
  • Leitrim Village Tidy Towns meets from 8pm to 9pm on Mondays and Wednesdays at the village pump under the big chestnut tree at the Keadue Road junction.
  • The first Corpus Christi procession took place in the village on Sunday 7 June 2026.
  • Leitrim Volunteer Centre also advertised a three-hour Creative Youth workshop at St Josephs Community Centre for Monday 13 July, 2pm to 5pm, for young people aged 11 to 17.
  • Parent-and-toddler activity, ICA, youth club, music sessions, the shop, takeaway, karate, canal activity and greenway interest have a clearer local setting when they are placed beside the pump, the school, the community centre and those Monday/Wednesday Tidy Towns evenings.
  • St Josephs Community Centre has a clearer community role: it is the place where youth art workshops, village meetings and parish gathering notices are landing.
  • Public Creative Youth material says wider participation is part of the workshop purpose, while the village's own public notices describe the Corpus Christi procession as a first for Leitrim Village and a day remembered by the whole community.
  • This makes the village summary smaller but more real: the pump, chestnut tree, school, St Josephs, canal, procession, young people and tidy-town evenings are all named places in the same walkable village.
  • Leitrim Village local notices add the ordinary notices around that.
  • The first Corpus Christi procession was listed for Sunday 7 June 2026 after 10.15 Mass and described locally as a first for the village.
  • A weekly walk met at Drumhierney Car Park on Friday 5 June at 11am, with short local walks led by a trained Walk Leader and no charge to join.
  • Tidy Towns called for a Monday and Wednesday evening blitz on weeds.
  • A nearby free creative project for caregivers ran from 13 to 16 July in Carrick-on-Shannon, while Carrick Phoenix FC looked for women aged 16 and over for a new ladies team and Carrick-on-Shannon Golf promoted a Get Into Golf ladies programme.
  • The small human note was a friendly cat around Drumgaglome, later reported home.
  • Leitrim Village is school, centre, pump, procession, walking group, tidy-town work, caregivers, women's sport, cats back home and canal-side daily life.

09 Keshcarrigan note

Keshcarrigan

  • Canal stop
  • Pub breakfast
  • Tea day
  • Dog show
  • Lake
  • Keshcarrigan has a community-space project beside the lake.
  • Shannonside reported that Keshcarrigan Development Association had planning permission to develop the old Garda Barracks, that phase one was complete, and that the committee hoped the next stage would begin the following year.
  • A March 2026 Keshcarrigan calendar was sold as a keepsake with proceeds for the Old Barracks refurbishment.
  • Keshcarrigan Development Association remains the key local organisation.
  • A public fundraiser for the Barracks lists EUR3,640 raised toward a EUR20,000 target and says the building dates from 1861, served as an RIC Barracks and later a Garda Barracks, and was granted to the development association on a long lease in January 2024.
  • The stated plan is to turn it into a community/resource/heritage centre with meeting rooms, working hubs, indoor/outdoor play areas and a museum or cultural interpretative space.
  • Shannonside's 2026 update says phase one has been completed and the committee hopes to move the next stage on, with chairperson Paddy McGreevy describing it as a huge project.
  • This gives Keshcarrigan a building project: the old station, the development association, the fundraising page, the grant-and-planning trail, the canal village and the hope of a working community room not only a heritage plaque.
  • The Old Barracks story has both a project update and a fundraising line.
  • Shannonside says phase one had been completed and the association hoped to continue the next stage the following year; the fundraiser adds the longer community ambition for meeting rooms, work hubs, play areas and a museum or interpretative space.
  • Calendar sales, race-night style fundraising, Gertie's, Tailor McKeon's, the canal stop, lakeside visitors and ordinary local trading all keep the building in the middle of village life.
  • Keshcarrigan's community-centre story also has a clear project timeline.
  • Shannonside's earlier report says fundraising was underway to turn the old Garda Barracks into a new centre after the building closed in 2013 and locals kept maintaining it.
  • The GoFundMe fundraiser says the 1861 building served the local community first as an RIC Barracks and later as a Garda station, with the long lease granted to the development association in January 2024.
  • This gives the village note a clear arc: old barracks, local maintenance, lease, phase one, grant-match fundraising, planned rooms, work hubs, play areas, museum material, canal life and the local businesses people will actually use around it.
  • The current Keshcarrigan noticeboard keeps the Barracks practical rather than distant.
  • A yard sale was listed at the Astro units in Keshcarrigan, 2pm to 5pm, with proceeds going toward the Barracks.
  • Another public notice asked local people to join a one-off three-hour workshop with Keshcarrigan Community Heritage Group about the future of the Old Barracks.
  • That is the useful community line for Keshcarrigan: sales, workshops, calendar fundraising, local maintenance and the slow work of turning the old station into a shared room.
  • Another Keshcarrigan item is housing.
  • Shannonside reported on 24 June 2026 that four one-bedroom apartments in the village had been completed but remained vacant since December, with Leitrim County Council saying they were on course for August allocation once right-of-way and easement issues involving Uisce Eireann were resolved.
  • The same local notices is more ordinary too: people were selling a fireside chair, a lamp and other household pieces, while Pete's Pizza advertised a Keshcarrigan evening at Gertie's Bar from 5.30pm until sellout, with dine-in or takeaway and pre-order advised.
  • That mix matters: homes, Barracks fundraising, furniture sales, pizza at Gertie's, canal activity and old-building work are all part of the village record.

  • McCaffreys as bar, shop and post office, CK Steelworks, parish photos, football memory, music, Irish, dance, ICA and practical rural services belong around that school, centre and GAA mix.
  • The next dated Aughavas fixture visible in the county stream is Sunday 5 July 2026, when Gortletteragh host Aughavas at 1pm in the KC Motors Reserve League Division 3.
  • That keeps the public Aughavas note current after the June home games and gives the parish a clear next sports/community date to check before listing.
  • Aughavas is also a school-and-services parish, not only a fixture list.
  • St Joseph's NS describes itself as a welcoming Catholic primary school in the heart of Aughavas, with two classroom teachers, two SET posts, two SNAs, a school secretary, an active Parents' Association and the 10th Green Schools Flag in 2024.
  • That school note belongs beside the community centre's support-centre role, McCaffreys, CK Steelworks, GAA, ICA, dance, Irish, music and parish photographs.
  • Aughavas Community Centre carries notices for centre and local community activity, with older material showing stalls, Aughavas Men's Shed, Aughavas GAA, Leitrim PPN and St Joseph's NS around the same building.

  • Mothers & Others, girls' football, All Stars, school fundraising, youth club, Community Games, the Rooskey shop trail and Annaduff/Dromod links all sit around a club that is functioning as sport ground, fundraiser, family meeting point and emergency support place.
  • The current Bornacoola club notices keep that same local rhythm.
  • The June draw was pushed again as a Copper Still Sunday-night event, and the weekly club note put the intermediate win over Glenfarne/Kiltyclogher beside the next away trip to Aughnasheelin and the final league game against Carrigallen in Kilglass.
  • The ladies side adds the more human community detail: Bornacoola girls were part of Mohill-area Community Games teams in Carrick, with the U14s winning through, while the Mothers & Others team represented the club at the Connacht blitz in Castlebar.
  • The notice also carried Lough Rynn Harvest Festival & Vintage Day for Sunday 6 September 2026.

12 Carrigallen note

Carrigallen / Aughawillan

  • Old bar
  • Youth theatre
  • Trout lake
  • Macra
  • 50/50 draw
  • Carrigallen has Corn Mill Theatre and Carrigallen GAA as two strong public anchors.
  • Corn Mill lists Love Hungry Farmer on Thursday 30 July and describes itself as an intimate venue for touring productions, musical artists and live bands, home to Corn Mill Theatre Group, which produces two full-length productions annually and competes in one-act and three-act circuits.
  • Carrigallen GAA's 2026 fixture stream puts club games at the local pitch through May and June, including a reserve-league date against Glencar-Manor on 20 June.
  • The county support-centre list places Carrigallen GAA as an emergency hub with charging, hot water, kitchen, showers, toilets and 50 seats.
  • Leitrim Youth Theatre workshops, Carrigallen Vocational School, Leitrim Macra, the summer festival, trout lake, parish pages, childcare, defibrillators, shops, health care, Aughawillan GAA and Cavan/Longford border life add the wider town routine.
  • Carrigallen's theatre, youth and school detail is specific.
  • The Corn Mill has The Love Hungry Farmer by John B.
  • Keane with Seamus O'Rourke on Thursday 30 and Friday 31 July at 8pm, admission EUR25, with doors open half an hour before show time.
  • Leitrim Youth Theatre meets in Carrigallen Community Hall from Tuesday 13 January 2026, with a junior group for ages 9 to 12 from 5.30pm to 7pm and a senior group for ages 13 to 17 from 7.15pm to 9.15pm.
  • Carrigallen Vocational School is a co-educational, multi-denominational ETB school on the Leitrim/Cavan/Longford border, with 2026/27 enrolment underway and school values listed as excellence in education, equality, respect, community and care.
  • The MSLETB profile roots the school in a longer local story: opened in 1957 as a three-room building, it grew to nineteen classrooms and hundreds of pupils, with gym and permanent-building plans part of the school campus story.
  • Carrigallen has a school, theatre, youth hall, GAA ground, Macra, trout lake, shops and border-town service centre working in the same small town.
  • Carrigallen GFC adds the club-development detail that makes the town note more current.
  • The public notices carry a development 50/50 draw with a listed live draw in the Kilbracken Arms Hotel, a guaranteed EUR1,500 jackpot and a ClubSpot route for the weekly lotto.
  • The same notice says the club plan includes a multipurpose room, sensory room, lift access to the first floor, a fully accessible clubhouse, main-pitch floodlights, walkway lights and an AstroTurf pitch.
  • The official Leitrim GAA stream gives the match diary around Carrigallen, Cloone, Fenagh and Aughnasheelin, including a Carrigallen 3-15 to 1-04 away win in Cloone on 22 May 2026.
  • The wider village calendar has traditional music and gathering traces too.
  • Carrigallen hosted the 2026 Leitrim County Fleadh from 17 to 19 April, and public Carrigallen material also points to Margaret's Corner gathering activity over 23 to 25 May with storytelling and traditional music.
  • The Corn Mill website keeps the deeper arts memory: drama in Carrigallen goes back to the late 1800s, the present group began in 1963 and the theatre opened in 1989.
  • Carrigallen is therefore not only a theatre listing: it is Corn Mill, youth theatre, vocational school, GAA development, Kilbracken Arms draw night, County Fleadh, Margaret's Corner, Macra, shops and border-town life.

  • Dromahair's local life runs through The Depot, the park, the GAA, the schools, the library/community facility and the Bonet valley.

Rooskey

  • Shannon
  • Heritage festival
  • Angling

  • The school council notes say pupils are elected by classmates to represent views and interests, improve school life, act as a student voice, connect pupils, school and home, and help organise events.
  • Leitrim Shorin Ryu is listed nationally with Rooskey Community Centre among its club venues, and Rooskey Centre lists Monday karate with Michael from 6.30pm to 7.30pm.
  • The Heritage Festival notice gives the dawn walk as the clean 2026 trace, with the 9 May start at 4.15am from Rooskey Community Center; a full festival programme needs a fresh organiser notice.
  • Rooskey Lock, the riverside walk into the village, angling, the Blueway, the nursing home and Shannon-side visitor activity sit around a school and hall that are visibly in use.
  • No full current Rooskey Heritage Festival programme is visible yet.
  • Keep Rooskey as school, hall, karate, river, lock and dawn-walk material for now, and do not write a festival preview until an organiser programme, times and venues are visible.
  • The newer Rooskey local notices make the village feel more practical again.
  • Rooskey Town & Country Development describes itself as a voluntary group working with other community groups to enhance and regenerate the village, and recent posts point to the Rooskey-Dromod walk/cycleway, the wider Rooskey-Tarmon trail and a bus-service consultation between Cavan and Longford.

Drumsna

  • Annaduff
  • Drumsna's Community Resource Centre gives the village a care-and-contact note.
  • The centre's own public notices list weekly bingo, hot meals to clients' doors, daily lunches, a sun veranda, meeting lounge and kitchen treats, with enquiries through centre manager Julie Dockery.
  • The pressure on that work is also a news note.
  • Shannonside reported in May 2026 that Drumsna CRC delivers meals across south Leitrim and offers a day service for older people, while rising food and fuel costs were putting pressure on the service.
  • The Meals on Wheels directory also places the centre in Drumsna with Julie Dockery as contact person and lists the phone and email route for the service.
  • This makes Drumsna less a generic river village and more a village with a known care centre, kitchen, drivers, bingo room, lunch table and older-persons service.
  • Taylor's Bar, Annaduff/Dromod parish links, Drumsna Fuels, keep-fit activity, LeitrimExperience.ie at The Grange and small trades/service requests sit beside that care work rather than replacing it.
  • Drumsna Community Resource Centre gives the everyday version of that story.
  • It says the Meals on Wheels service supports independence and quality of life with affordable, nutritionally balanced meals five days per week, while the centre site describes lunches, freshly cooked hot meals and a kitchen people can contact directly.
  • Centre notices also mention extra Friday meals that can be delivered pre-chilled for the weekend.
  • Drumsna's service story has a weekly rhythm: hot meals, weekend meals, day service, bingo, Julie Dockery's centre contact, Taylor's Bar, Drumsna Fuels and the Shannon-side parish links.
  • Drumsna Community Resource Centre is also a weekly meeting room, not only a meals service.
  • The centre says it hosts Golden Age Group, ICA and Tidy Towns meetings, along with art classes, defibrillator training, yoga and traditional music lessons or classes.
  • Thursday-night bingo is described as a major social networking event, and older community traces include a Drumsna CRC 5km fun run/walk, a local hiring share and a care-related post about the Alzheimer day centre opening in Carrick-on-Shannon.
  • Drumsna notices include the care centre, kitchen, bingo, Golden Age, ICA, Tidy Towns, music, yoga, art, defibrillator training and Shannon village life.

  • The railway is a working volunteer museum in the village.
  • The visit is described as a 45-to-60-minute guided experience with transport exhibits, aircraft cockpits and a narrow-gauge railway trip, with enquiries through dromodrailway@gmail.com and the Station Road phone number.
  • It sits beside the harbour, marina, petanque and food/pub trade rather than standing apart as a passing attraction.
  • Dromod also has a tidy-village civic line.
  • In the same council announcement that named Carrick-on-Shannon Ireland's Tidiest Town, Dromod Tidy Towns was congratulated on a Bronze Medal.
  • That sits naturally with the railway volunteers, Station Road, harbour, marina, petanque, Dromod Boxty, The Copper Still, The Brandywell, Big John's, Cox's Steakhouse and Annaduff/Drumsna parish links.
  • Dromod's regular village activity is also showing through businesses and small clubs.
  • Dromod Harbour Petanque describes itself as a newly established Leitrim club, giving the harbour a weekly social use as well as a visitor view.
  • The Copper Still says it serves food daily from 12 noon to 9pm, 8pm on Sundays, has live music every weekend and is a family-run bar, restaurant and accommodation where locals and visitors meet.
  • Dromod Boxty's Good Food Ireland listing adds the food-making side, with traditional family recipes, locally sourced ingredients where possible, gluten-free boxty, potato bread and pancakes.
  • Dromod notices include the railway, harbour, petanque, food, pub music, tidy-village work and river stopping point.
  • Local notices add more village detail.
  • Dromod Village & Tidy Towns describes Dromod as part of Annaduff parish in south Leitrim, with a population over 700, and carries nearby club and parish notices as well as village updates.

  • Dromod Harbour Petanque gives the harbour a small-club story, with the notice naming it as a new starting petanque club in Dromod village and carrying local competition news from Cavan.
  • The Copper Still's weekend music, The Brandywell, Cox's, Dromod Boxty, Tidy Towns, the railway museum and the harbour keep the same village routine visible.
  • Dromod is not only a stopping point: it is a station, harbour, parish, food, music, tidy-village and small-sport place.

  • The digital hub is based at Ballinaglera Community Hall, N41 A2N8, managed by Good Energies Alliance Ireland and linked with the partner hub in Killargue Community Centre.
  • The Leitrim digital-hubs material describes three desks, kitchen facility, high-speed broadband, free parking and video-conferencing facilities, making the hall a remote-work point as well as a local gathering place.
  • The energy story belongs in the same paragraph because it is rooted in that same hall.
  • GEAI says 20 solar panels were installed on the roof with LEADER support, split between the east- and west-facing roofs, and its emergency-hub proposal adds solar power with battery storage, EV charging, rainwater harvesting, backup generation, showers and laundry as practical resilience ideas.
  • The Leitrim Way local-events listing adds the more ordinary village rhythm: chair yoga in Ballinaglera, clean-up days from the village committee, a biodiversity walk around St Hugh's Well starting at Ballinaglera Hall, free weekly Walking for All, and a local youth club for resident members.

  • The official Leitrim GAA listings place the club in Division 3 fixtures around St Hugh Park, Drumreilly, Carrigallen and Blacklion, while the club history says Ballinaglera left Allen Gaels in 1981, serves the rural parish between Lough Allen and Sliabh an Iarainn, and developed Pairc Naomh Aodh with dressing rooms, a training pitch, playground, all-purpose sports hall and gym.
  • Local information notices add the older and smaller village note: it asks people to share stories, old photos, customs and family histories, and carries local memory around Skerrie Rynn's bar and shop.
  • A Seed Stories creative evening in Ballinaglera Community Hall put drawing, remembering, seeds, local food and the Leitrim Environmental Network AGM into the same room.
  • Ballinaglera notices include the hall, hub, solar roof, GAA pitch, gym, chair yoga, litter picks, youth club, St Hugh's Well, Lough Allen, Skerrie Rynn's, old photos and parish sport.

  • The St Patrick's Day parade gives the village a public-gathering line.
  • The Newtowngore parade notice lists the fifth St Patrick's Day parade for 2026, with weekend entertainment starting on Sunday 15 March and the main parade on Tuesday 17 March at 4.30pm.

24 Glenfarne note

Glenfarne / Glangevlin

  • Rainbow Ballroom
  • Country dancing
  • Wood products
  • Old photos
  • Windfarm
  • **Return-week update, 19 July:** The Rainbow Ballroom listed social dancing with Robert Brown for 19 July and is preparing its gala programme from 31 July to 3 August.
  • Glenfarne and Glangevlin have the Rainbow Ballroom calendar at the centre of the public local calendar.
  • The hall's own site calls it Leitrim's historic dance hall in the heart of the Glenfarne community and lists Social Dancing on 19 July 2026, Glenfarne Gala Festival from 31 July to 3 August, and Jack Keogh with Sean Loughrey from 31 July.
  • Its events calendar also shows the practical rhythm of the place: third-Sunday dancing through the year, including 16 August, 20 September, 18 October, 15 November and 20 December.
  • The hall is not only nostalgia.
  • The June calendar included Glenfarne Feel Good Club's annual Tea Dance on 15 June, 3pm to 5pm, with raffle prizes, music by Eugene Cunningham, access to the Showband Exhibit and EUR8 entry.
  • St Michael's NS, Glenfarne/Kiltyclogher GAA, Clancy's of Glenfarne, local wood and rural trades, Glangevlin parish and genealogy pages, Leitrim Fair memories, Blacklion/Cavan links, hills and family notices sit around the hall, dancing, tea dance, gala and ordinary gathering life.
  • The Lissinagroagh / Saddlehill / Dough Mountain windfarm discussion remains a separate document-led civic story.
  • The Rainbow calendar keeps the hall alive after gala weekend too.
  • Social dancing is listed for 19 July from 9pm to 11pm with Robert Brown, the Glenfarne Gala runs from 31 July to 3 August, Jack Keogh with Sean Loughrey is listed for Friday 31 July with doors at 8.30pm and EUR20 at the door, and the third-Sunday dance pattern continues on 16 August, 20 September, 18 October, 15 November and 20 December.
  • Glenfarne's public life has an active dance-hall calendar, a gala weekend, a tea dance, a showband exhibit and a rural community hub.
  • The official Rainbow site keeps the listing tied to a usable local venue.
  • The hall is at Brockagh Lower, Glenfarne, F91 RK54, calls itself Leitrim's historic dance hall in the heart of the Glenfarne community, offers tours and venue hire, and says social dancing is open to everyone with refreshments served.
  • The July-August diary keeps the place active from 19 July social dancing into Glenfarne Gala and the Jack Keogh night on 31 July.
  • The site also lists public uses for the hall: it carries visit information, bookings, the showband exhibition, social links and the venue phone and email.
  • That is relevant for Glenfarne because the Rainbow is doing several jobs at once: a dance floor, a memory room, a gala base, a Sunday social stop, a place for tea dances and a bookable community venue.
  • Glangevlin and Blacklion links, St Michael's NS, Glenfarne/Kiltyclogher GAA, Clancy's, local trades, hill farms and family notices give the wider border-and-valley life around the hall.

Dowra

  • Dowra Mart
  • Aggie's Fairy Trail
  • Shannon bridge
  • TFI bus
  • Green Village
  • Dowra's public notes run through the Leitrim Way and mart days.
  • The official Leitrim Way trail listing places Dowra as the point where the route connects with the Cavan Way, with a 15km moderate section taking roughly 3 hours 45 minutes and a stamp location in the village.
  • Beara Breifne Way material places Dowra at the split where the Leitrim Way goes north west to Manorhamilton and the Cavan Way runs north east toward Blacklion, after the trail follows the east side of Lough Allen.
  • Dowra Mart's public notices give the farming rhythm: sheep sales on Fridays, cattle sales on Saturdays, MartEye registration for online sales, and the mart office number for new customers.
  • Aggie's Fairy Trail sits under Dowra Bridge on Aggie's Island, while the Shannon bridge, Cavan border, green-village work, buses, contractors, rooms, family-history posts and the north-Leitrim road back toward Drumkeerin are part of the village week.
  • The mart detail gives Dowra its weekly schedule.
  • Farmers Forum places Dowra Mart at The Fair Green, Dowra, with sheep every Friday and sheep and cattle every Saturday; the mart notice also points people to the office for online-sale registration.
  • The Leitrim Way listing gives the walking side in the same village: Dowra is a 15km, roughly 3 hour 45 minute, moderate section and the place where the Leitrim Way connects with the Cavan Way.
  • This puts farmers, walkers, border activity, Shannon water, buses, contractors, rooms, Aggie's Fairy Trail and the road back toward Drumkeerin into one small but busy north-Leitrim/Cavan-border note.
