Na Gaeil Abrew: The offical opening of Na Gaeil Abrew took place yesterday and was marked by an hour of music, dancing & craic. Fr. James Walsh was on hand to bless the coffee dock before Damien Bourke & Diarmuid O’Connor cut the ribbon. Then it was the turn of Helen Tansley to regale the crowd with the hilarious “Tale of Na Gaeil Abrew” which outlined the various stages of the project from her original idea as well as the many people who got behind the project and drove it on to be the wonderful facility it is now for all club members. Our Chairperson Conor Kavanagh spoke and paid tribute to Helen for her determination to get the coffee dock up-and-running and he thanked the countless people who helped out in any way over the past few months.
