COMMUNITY ALERT: Unfortunately interest or lack of it in Community Alert is greatly influenced by criminality in the local area. As the crime statistics in this area do not command headlines, in consequence the Community Alert organisation maintains a low profile.

Your attendance is solicited and will be welcome.

KENRY HISTORY SOCIETY: ‘The Castles and Tower Houses of Co Limerick’ is the next topic for the lecture on Wednesday November 21, at Kilcornan Community Centre. The speaker Joseph Lennon, Ph. D researcher, has put many years of painstaking work into this project which will appear later in book form. The evolution of these buildings will be described from their initial function as fortresses, to tower houses and later larger dwellings with a fortified appearance. The lecturer has visited these buildings, battling with briars, hostile bovines and treacherous conditions underfoot, to survey them personally. He has also visited sites of buildings long gone from the landscape and suggests details of them from maps and written sources. In the Kildimo area he has taken an especial interest in a tower house that ‘fell’ in mysterious circumstances and like all dedicated academics, he is still willing to add to his unique and voluminous knowledge of such structures. Be there for 8.00 pm.
GAA LOTTO: The new Jackpot is now €4,600 and the numbers drawn on November 5 were 2. 3. 23 & 26 which were not chosen by any punter. As a consequence, €50 Lucky Dips of €50 were drawn by Adrian Garvey, Oliver Naughton, Seamus Hannon and Maurice Fennessy.
