A really interesting talk tomorrow night in the gorgeous Kilfenora Cathedral St Fachnan’s, yes there is a cathedral in Kilfenora, which was once a diocese all of its own up until the 1700s. This church is so perfect, it still has its box pews, lots of carvings #medievalireland

A weekend of “firsts” from SBCR, the Talk of East Clare. Local news translated into Ukrainian & presented by Olesia Sliusar at 3pm on Sat and 4pm on Sun. 6pm on Sat our own Dean Richard presenting “No Rhinestones” alternative American & Americana inspired Country music!

A huge Thank You to the Killaloe Male Voice Choir, The Gunas and Lorraine Galvin for the wonderful fund raising concert at St Flannan’s last night. Over €1,500 raised towards our restoration fund 👏👏🙏

The brilliant Tidy Towns volunteers have gone and opened a hotel right on our doorstep!! It’s just beautiful, what they have done with the overgrown shrub bed opposite the cathedral is the most amazing transformation. The new hotel crowns it! @TidyTownsIre

We received a very welcome hand today from Shane of Tidy Town’s Killaloe. Lia, our People’s Warden, showed him the ropes. Shane will help to keep Killaloe’s Cathedral looking its best for visitors & locals. Thank you Shane, we look forward to working with you 🙏@TidyTownsIre
