Thank You to all who attended both public meetings in Dunnamaggin and in Kilmoganny. There was a great turnout at both and plenty of ideas about what can be done do to improve Dunnamaggin Parish for the people who live in all parts of it. A working group has been formed and work will begin based on the suggestions received at both meetings. From small acorns great trees grow!
