Mary Meaney RIP Drombanna ICA who died on April8 2011
NEWS FROM THE GUILDS: Ballingarry members had a very interesting talk by Eileen Toomey on the health benefits of herbs and growing your own small vegetable patch. Eileen also grows a large variety of culinary and medicinal potted herbs, again with a focus on heritage and native herbs such as Pennyroyal Mint, Self Heal and Meadowsweet. She very kindly had a range of her herbs and plants with her, so there is no excuse but to get out the gardening gloves and start straight away!
Murroe/Boher guild had very successful AGM with great turn out of members and five more ladies joining shortly. Upgrading their computer skills with assistance from Limerick County VEC was much appreciated by all. Their PRO Breda Fitzpatrick looks forward to downloading photographs as part of her ICA brief and the forthcoming trip in May to Cork and Fota Wild Life Park will be an ideal opportunity to test her new skills. Information Officer Nora Stapleton from Oola was delighted with her visit and the high standard of catering which followed.
