A small but vibrant rural community in West Clare is coming together this week to support a centre that sits at the very heart of local life.
Kilmurry McMahon Community Centre, originally built as a school in the late 1800s, is in the middle of a major refurbishment project — with plans not only to upgrade the historic building but also to develop a new outdoor pickleball court.
With €160,000 in grant funding secured, the committee is now fundraising to bridge the remaining gap — and a special trad concert this Saturday night, February 28th, is set to play a big part in that effort.
Mary Neylon from the community centre committee joined Alan Morrissey on Morning Focus to tell us about the concert and refurbishments.
