Borrisoleigh Drama Group

This May Bank Holiday Weekend Borrisoleigh Drama Group present their latest production, The Trial on 28th, 29th April and 1st May. The play was originally written in Irish as An Triail, by the Irish playwright Máiréad Ní Ghráda and is part of the Irish language curriculum for the Leaving certificate. The play is set in Ireland during the 1960s and deals with the pregnancy, and subsequent single motherhood, of a young woman (played by Antoinette McMahon) who is shunned by her family, spends time in a mother and baby home and in some unsavoury accommodation in Dublin. The Trial goes back and forth between “flashbacks” and the trial.
.
Contains adult themes, suitable for mature audiences.
.
People are advised to come early as last year’s very successful run of The Chastitute performed by Borrisoleigh Drama Group was completely sold out over the 3 nights.

Please come along in your High-Vis vest to help with our Annual Clean up on 26th April.

The effects of litter are many. As well as just looking bad; research has shown that people living in littered areas experience a poorer quality of life to those who don’t. Studies also show that littered areas suffer from increased crime rates and anti-social behaviour.

.

The environmental effects of litter include:

  • Harm to our storm water systems, streams, rivers and eventually our seas.
    On land wildlife can also become entrapped or die in their attempts to eat plastic bags and other types of litter left to blow away in the wind.
    Litter also poses a threat to our public health and is often a breeding ground for bacteria.
  • If every person in Borrisoleigh picked up just one piece of litter today, there would be over 708 fewer pieces of litter. Over a full year that would be over 250,000 pieces of litter.
  • If you and your friends and family spend just 2 minutes from time to time picking up litter in your own area, you will not only pick up thousands of pieces of rubbish, you will also make a tremendous impact on your community.

Seniors lost out to Drom last Sunday in the Senior League County Final. Although they led at half time (0-06 to 0-02) the play turned in Drom’s favour in the second half. Down Maria Curley at half time due to injury and Drom making some positional changes meant that Borris-Ileigh was the weaker team in the second half.

.

Final Score Drom-Inch 3-09 to Borris-Ileigh 0-08.

Scores from: Nicole Walsh 0-05, Alice Fogarty 0-02 & Mary Bradshaw 0-01.
