Yesterday in Clonmacnois a Draft Management Plan for Clonmcnois covering the next five years was launched by Mr.Martin Cullen,T.D. the Minister for the Environment,Heritage and Local Government. Copies of the plan are available in the Library on Thursday 7.00 to 9.00 P.M. Comments and suggestions are welcome.
It was disappointing to hear the Minister say that it was his first time in Clonmacnoise and then present the Draft Plan. Looked to me that some real friends of Clonmacnois such as Heather King had put a lot of work into the plan and the Minister's speech.
Many local people were invited. Thought there would be other bodies but no.
