Mar chuid tábhachtach de chlár oibre na bliana seo, rinne Comhlucht Forbartha na nDéise cinneadh obair chothabhála a dhéanamh ar Reilig an tSléibhe, reilig ón nGorta Mór, atá mar chuid tábhachtach, tubaisteach agus uafásach i stair an cheantar. Táimid buíoch do Údarás na Gaeltachta as ucht an deontas reáchtála a chuireann siad ar fáil dúinn, a thacaíonn linn tabhairt faoi obair mar seo. Is iontach an méad oibre gur féidir le duine amháin, PJ O’Donnell, tarracóir agus an trealamh ceart a dhéanamh. Tá súil againn anois go nglacfaidh pobal an cheantar agus cuairteoir leis an deis cuairt a thabhairt ar an Reilig speisialta agus stairiúil seo.
Maintenance of Reilig an tSléibhe Famine Graveyard.
As an important part of this year’s work programme, a decision was made by Comhlucht Forbartha na nDéise to undertake maintainance work on the Famine Graveyard, Reilig an Sléibhe, which is an important, devastating and terrible part of the area’s history. We are grateful to Údarás na Gaeltachta for the administration grant they provide us, which supports us to undertake work like this. It’s amazing how much work one person, PJ O’Donnell, can do with a tractor and the right equipment. We now hope that both the local community and visitors will take the opportunity to visit this special and historic graveyard.
