Borrisoleigh Active Social Club went on their annual mystery trip last Friday.  As we left the Gaa grounds nobody knew where the bus was headed.  We went in the direction of Limerick and our first stop was at the Foynes Flying Boat Museum. We got a very interesting tour.  We were shown how to make Irish Coffees and Nora Delaney received a medal & certificate for being the champion Irish Coffee maker. 

We left Foynes and headed for Adare where there was a bit of retail therapy done.  The day finished off with a beautiful meal in The Woodlands House Adare.  Many thanks to everybody that made the day a success.  The next venture is to the beach. We are heading to Salthill on Friday August 14th.  Cost for the bus & meal on the way home is €35. 
 

Borrisoleigh Heritage and Culture notes

After many delays and setbacks, the information board detailing the story of the Cullohill evictions of July 1850, has finally been erected. Many thanks to the O’Connor and Bourke families of Cullohill for providing the site and allowing the space where this tragic event from our history is now permanently marked and remembered.
 
National Heritage Week is now almost upon us and as our contribution to the programme of events we will conduct a walking tour of Glenkeen graveyard. This will take place on Saturday August 22 at 2.15 pm. Immediately following the conclusion of the guided tour (cr. 4.00 pm) Liam Mannix will give a talk in the Community Centre.

Borrisoleigh Heritage & Culture

Thanks to all who came out on Thursday last to the two community consultation sessions at Glenkeen. Liam Mannix, conservation consultant was on hand to hear and take on board some valuable suggestions that the attendees had to offer. As Glenkeen is in the guardianship of our generation, it is good that the local community have their input into the project. The compilation of this conservation management plan is being funded by the Heritage Council of Ireland in conjunction with Tipperary CoCo.

 
Also we have been fortunate that another statutory body, “The Discovery Programme” have conducted a two day survey of Glenkeen graveyard and surrounding farm land. Their report will be submitted next September and will, in all likelihood, add to what already knowledge we have about Glenkeen.
 
 
 

On Saturday last, our group paid a visit to the farming & folk vintage museum – and to the adjoining Gairdín an Ghorta at Newmarket in Co. Kilkenny. After having breakfast at Windgap Community Centre we proceeded to the museum where we were met with our host, Willie Barron. Willie has personally put together a vast collection of vintage machinery which is constantly being expanded by way of private donations. 

 
Willie was among the local group, who back in 1999, reclaimed a portion of derelict ground and converted into a community garden that interprets the great famine of 1845/50 – and is today its main driver in its maintenance and upkeep.

2026 GAA World Games in the SETU Arena in Waterford

The native Canadian hurling team managed by Borrisoleigh men, Rodger (Rocky) Ryan and Cathal O’Connell, are competing in the 2026 GAA World Games in the SETU Arena in Waterford. Unfortunately Cathal was unable to travel but Rocky and his Assistants, Michael Cunningham from Clontarf and Tadhg Ryan from Borrisoleigh are doing a great job in ensuring Canada are competitive. Despite some great displays Canada were unlucky not to win more games but have qualified for the Division 1 Shield semifinal on Thursday. Rocky’s family turned out in force to support him and his team over the last few days including his mum Nuala and his siblings, in-laws and nephews and nieces.   Some of the Canadian lads attended last Sunday’s North Final to see Borris-Ileigh record a great win over Nenagh. Well done to Rocky, Cathal and their Canadian team and best of luck in the Shield semi.

It’s hard to believe our re-energised Tidy Towns group has only been back up and running for three months!

A huge thank you to our fantastic volunteers whose hard work and dedication are already making a real difference. It’s wonderful to see our village looking cleaner, brighter and more welcoming.

A special word of thanks to the Castle Court Residents Association for the great work they continue to do in keeping their estate looking so well.

 We’d also like to wish the newly reformed Mount George Residents Group every success. Please get in touch if there’s any way we can help.

We’d love to see other housing estates form residents’ groups too. By working together we can achieve so much more.

Everyone can help by sweeping and weeding outside their own home—every little effort makes a difference. We’re always looking for new volunteers, and we have some exciting projects planned over the coming months, finishing the summer with get-together for the volunteers.

Together, we can all take pride in making our village the best it can be. 🌿

We meet up every Wednesday  at 7 pm at the Square

Borrisoleigh Active Social Club enjoying their day out in Portarlington last Friday 

 

Members of Borrisoleigh Active Social Club headed off last Friday to Solas Eco Garden Centre in Portarlington.  We had a very informative talk on planting of flowers and shrubs. Then headed onto Emo Court House for a guided tour which was so interesting.  We had a lovely meal in Treacys of The Heath.  As many recounted stopping there years ago coming home from matches in Dublin but since the motorway they haven’t been there. 

Our next outing is to see Fran & Muriel in Bru Boru Cashel on Tuesday July 7th. 
Our mystery tour takes place on Fri July 24th.  Where we’re going nobody knows (except the bus driver). 
 

Borrisoleigh Heritage & Culture

After much effort, success has finally come in getting the relevant statutory bodies to take an interest in the preservation of the monastic ruin at Glenkeen, along with the adjoining burial ground. 
 
The initiative is now part of the Heritage Council of Ireland’s “Adopt a Monument Programme”, which will offer mentorship and guidance on how best to proceed in securing and preserving, what is, one of the most historic of sites in, not only Tipperary, – but in all of Ireland. The Heritage Office of Tipperary County Council has also committed full support to this project.
 
Funding has been secured to compile a Conservation Management Plan, which is a necessary first step in a project such as this. Kilkenny based conservation specialist company, “Research & Dig”, under the management of Liam Mannix have already begun preliminary work on this plan and have visited Glenkeen on a number of occasions.
 
As Glenkeen monastic ruin and surrounding graveyard is perhaps the most valuable inheritance that our forebearers have bequeathed upon us, it is important that our generation do what is necessary to preserve the treasure with which we are entrusted for generations of the future.
 
The next step in the process is a proposed public consultation meeting. This is proposed for the evening of Thursday 16 July, with two separate sessions at 3 and at 5 o’clock. Each of these sessions will be confined to 15 people and booking will be necessary and the venue will be on site at Glenkeen
 
For anyone wishing to attend, email  –  borrisheritage@gmail.com   – or text John Connors at 086 2752634

Missing white cooper helmet and hurley’s from recent community games in Limerick
 
To whom it may concern,
 
We attended the community games in UL yesterday, Maguires Pitches with Ballincollig GAA from Cork at the 11o clock match v Borrisleigh GAA.
My son Peter Downey left his white copper helmet up there with three hurley’s in it. It has his name, Peter Downey on the inside padding. He is completely distraught over loosing it. It was from his deceased grandfather and cannot be replaced. I was the manager and was doing a hundred things after the match so it’s really my fault it was left behind. We would do anything for it’s return. It’s beyond precious to him. My number is 0877738311. 
 
We are hoping it was just picked up by mistake by one of the other teams and will turn up. We would be beyond grateful to hear back about same. We have made contact with all Community games counties involved but are hoping if we contact all GAA teams in hurling and camogie that it will come to light sooner.  
 
Our son is suffering greatly so we are looking for any help with same.
 
UL do not have it so think it may also have been taken away in error. The are doing there best to recover it also. 
 
Can this message be sent out to the participating teams group per chance and see did anyone pick it up in error?
 
Go raibh mile,
Tríona Downey

Vyshyvanka Day

Gairdín na Saoirse becomes Ukrainian for a day

On Saturday afternoon 30 May last, Gairdín na Saoirse on the Thurles Road became a sea of colour and a place of song, music and celebration. Over one hundred Ukrainians who live in various parts of County Tipperary came to celebrate the day that is dedicated to the national embroidered costume of their country, the Vyshyvanka.
Cathaoirleach of Thurles Municipal District, Councillor Peggy Ryan, did the honours of opening proceedings and MEP Cynthia Ní Mhurchú delivered the keynote address.
Cory Ryan and Liam Donnelly (chefs par excellence) yet again performed the proverbial “loaves and fishes miracle” by somehow sending home 158 people fully fed and happy.
