Glad that a photograph taken of the old Shannonbridge power plant c1982/3
has been scanned by Declan Ryan and hopefully will be available to view here.
It must have been taken from a small plane or helicopter from downstream.

The last of the Climate Chain protesters are preparing to leave Shannonbridge.
They tell me that they want to clean up the camp-site and leave it as it was.

to the programme.Find midlandsradio103 or something like that. Have a go.

going well with the Saturday Sudoku on last Saturday's paper but ran into a wall.

Clontuskert Abbey is a place that I have seen from the roadside but never visited.
I heard today that a new book on Clontuskert is being written by Joe Molloy from
Ballinasloe and is due for publication in about October.

Congratulations to Kieran Rock who celebrated his birthday on Saturday.
