Yesterday Patricia Kenny was coming along the Cloghan road when she saw a
couple walking along. Patricia pulled up and offered them a lift but they were
returning from the Bog Rail tour and were enjoying the walk. Last night the couple
came in and Patricia recognized them as Mark Durcan the new leader of the SDLP
and his wife Jackie. They told me they were on a cruiser holiday on the Shannon
and had spent two days in Shannonbridge. They enjoyed the Bog Rail trip and
had eaten out in The Bog Oak and The Fort restaurants. Going upstream today
they plan to visit Clonmacnois and we hope they keep their promise and make
a return visit.
