The "Footbridge over the Dissour " as painted by David Willis of Irishpaintmagic when he was in the Wood for the "Music in the Wood 05" day.
You could own this magnificent painting and have it hanging on your wall because David has now donated this picture to the wood maintenance fund and it will be raffled at the August Bank Holiday Monday Music in the Wood 06 in the wood


Cards will be available at most of the usual outlets in and around Killeagh, further details nearer the time.

You can see more of David's work at http://www.irishpaintmagic.com
or on his new TV series which will run for 13 weeks starting the 23rd September 2004. All will be broadcast at the prime time of Thursday evenings at 7-30 pm on TG 4.

In conjunction with the Southern Regional Fisheries Board, the Dept of the Marine has designed a new lake that could be constructed within the boundaries of the old lake.

However this construction will be extremely expensive and beyond the financial scope of the local community. It is envisaged that this could be part financed by a grant from the Government or the E.U., but there will be a need for major fundraising schemes to be run locally to raise a significant part towards it.

Please watch this space for further details of how you can assist in these schemes
