Thank You Notice from the Cultúrlann committee

Cultúrlann MacAmhlaoibh opened its doors to the public in April with its first ever event; a concert by the Duhallow Choral Society. Since then, there have been a number of events, concerts, drama, CD launches, the McAuliffe Clan Rally, Christmas Craft fair as well as numerous regular events like Irish classes, the weekly Monday seisiuin, the weekly rehearsals of the Choral Society, the Monthly Alzeimers Cafe, the Monthly Writers Meet-up and Many more.

it all, there has been tremendous support for the Cultúrlann, its work and all its events from the general public, Without this support, it would have been impossible to be as successful as it has been in the seven months since its opening. So the committee would like to say a very heartfelt thank you to all its supporters, patrons, and performers, and to wish happy Christmas and a peaceful and blessed 2023.
