Over €50,000 has been spent on  the Community Centre since last Autumn with grant-aid from Ballyhoura Development.    

 

COMMUNITY  GAMES:

GRANAGH  PLAYERS:
Delighted to say that Granagh Players are back rehearsing for another production.     Jimmy Sheehy has been reading plays all Summer and  eventually decided on one.    He has returned to the writer of  'The Shaughraun', Dion Boucicault for another of his witty plays -  this one is called                                   ' London Assurance ' .    The title doesn't give any clue as to the story apart from being set in London around 1840.   We will have to read it a few times to find out the true story.
