Roscommon/South Leitrim Fine Gael TD and Boyle native, Frank Feighan, has paid tribute to the local community whose years of hard work had now paid off with the official launch of a new enterprise centre, Boyle Enterprise & More, last week.

IFA Inputs Project Team Chairperson, Chris Hayes, said the increase in fuel costs was now posing a real threat to margins, with many sectors finding it impossible to pass on these extra costs.

The European Forestry Organization, Pro Silva, of which Ireland is a part, is holding a very relevant and practical forest visit in Co Leitrim on Saturday, 28th April.

Three Community Text Alert Schemes were launched in the last week across south Leitrim and there are hopes that the initiative will spread into north Leitrim in the coming months.

Community Alert Schemes have been organised in Cloone/Aughavas, Hartley and Dromod in the last few days and local residents have already rowed in behind the initiative.

Clear your calendar for next year, because 2013 is going to be 12 months of epic celebration in Carrick-on-Shannon.
