Overseas readers might like to know that Lissadell House in Sligo is being sold by the
Gore-Booth family and Sligo County Council under a good fisherman manager Hugh Kearns
are negotiating a possible state purchase in the region of 3 million Euros with its contents
for the Irish Nation. It was the family mansion of Countess Markievicz who was an 1916
heroine as Constance Gore Booth.It has 400 acres of parkland on the shores of Sligo Bay.
I have great faith in Hugh Kearns and hope things work out well in the negociations.
