A few words about us

The committee are as follows: Chairman Patsy Neville, Vice Chairman John Lenihan, Secretary Ger Grace, Treasurer Antoin Devitt, John Power, Dixie O’ Regan, Noel Gallagher, John Lyons, Ger McErlian, Olive Liddane, Joe Hyde and Clare Mac Mahon.

SUSPECTED VANDALISMIn the past week the exit off our Fire Break trail onto the Snaty road had 2 poles that were set in concrete uprooted. From the tyre marks it looks very likely that a Quad Bike was in use, but for what ?.Also in the recent past on the Belvoir side of the trails, 2 galvanised gates have been damaged to gain entry by probably the same type of 4 wheel vehicle. We must take action now to protect our trails from this type of vandalism. Gardai and Coillte notified, and we would also request help from anyone using the trails to report any suspicious vehicles/activities. See MoreSee Less
