Eily’s Report 20th February
Dia is mhuire diobh go leir a cairde and welcome to my weekly report.
I must congratulate the lovely Maggie Moynihan of Coalpits in Cullen on winning the All Ireland Final of the Scór Solo Singing which was held in Sligo at the weekend. The people of Cullen and their award winning pipe band turned out amid blazing bonfires to welcome their young star home on Sunday evening. The last such accolade to be won in Cullen was back in the 70s which made Maggie’s win all the sweeter. No doubt we’ll be hearing more about her in the future.
The AGM of the Community Council will be held tonight at the Wallis Arms Hotel, starting at 8 and all are welcome.
