Boherquill Ramblers
The Ramblers met in Abbeyshrule on Sunday 22 February 2026 for their walk, a 7km loop leaving the road west of the village and passing through bogland to reach the Royal Canal near Abbeyshrule Airport. A 2km walk along the Canal towpath brought the walkers back to Abbeyshrule. Although the countryside was still in the grip of winter with the trees leafless and the bog covered in dead brown ferns the birds were looking forward to spring and already busy staking out their territory with their songs. On Sunday 8 March 2026 the Ramblers will meet at 2pm at the Cattle Mart in Ballymahon for a walk along the Royal Canal. Visit: Boherquill Ramblers Walking Club website.

New History Call
I am delighted by the response from people who have shown interest in our history call and in what it means to capture our wonderful heritage in a book, Townland by Townland. I am equally grateful for the enthusiastic response from our local school and from younger people who want to be involved. We are now in a position to form a core group. Thank you all for your encouragement and support. Our first townland history call will focus on Clonkeen and Inny Junction. If you have photographs of the station or houses, stories of everyday life and the people who lived there, songs, poetry, and as importantly where they are laid to rest. Or if you have information about people of fame and fortune of interest connected with families from these townlands, we would love to hear from you. Every memory, no matter how small it may seem, helps to build a richer picture of our shared history. We understand that many people are understandably reluctant to loan or part with precious photographs or documents. This is not a problem — we have equipment that allows us to scan photographs, documents, and other materials in your own home, with no inconvenience to you. All material is treated in the strictest confidence and with the utmost care. For more information or to get involved, please call Kevin (087) 137 5222 — always happy to help.
