RCAG has been working with Coillte Teoranta for the last number of years to develop a public amenity walkway to the summit of Carrigfadda hill. This long and protracted process is finally coming to fruition, and the first stage of the project -- laying out the path itself -- is complete.
While there are some issues to iron out relating to the gradient of the opening section of the walk, and Coillte access when it comes time for them to harvest the timber growing on the hillside, this is an incredibly positive step in the evolution of a valuable and long sought community resource.
It's still a far cry from the original proposal, and items like signage, seating, native tree planting and more are still under discussion. Stay tuned for more updates and photographs soon. Meanwhile, if you'd like to take a look, why not head on to Carrigfadda for a peek, and let us have your feedback -- we need your input to negotiate with Coillte to make sure the walk is the best it can be for everybody.

Unfortunately we've been forced to temporarily disable the comment feature on the photo gallery because of automated spam submisisons. All other features in the galelry will continue to work as before. Feel free to register an account , and upload some of your own Reenascreena photos.
You can currently create up to five personal gallery's containing a maximum of 50 photographs. If there's a demand we can look at increasing those arbitrary limits.
We'll look at implementing security features and re-enable the comment feature on the gallery as soon as we can.
Apologies for the inconvenience.
Regards,
Calvin Jones.

 Reenascreena Community Playgroup is delighted to announce that "Anyone can rob a bank", the hilarious comedy by Tom Coffey, will be coming to the stage in Reenascreena Community Hall on Friday 29th February.
Ahakera Drama Group will be staging the production. Admission will be €10 on the door, and all proceeds from the night will go towards funding the community playgroup.
A three-act comedy, "Anyone Can
Rob A Bank" has been described as good, clean family fun; a lightweight caper
with strong elements of farce, and should certainly prove entertaining for all.
Come along and enjoy the show, take part in the raffle and partake of the refreshments on offer. It's guaranteed to be a great night... and it's for a great local cause.
We'll see you there....

A
friend told me that during the Summer he had a great time in northern
Spain as part of the Santiago de Compostela pilgrimage walk. I was
posted a book to read about it and to make sure that I visited
shortly. I did not read the book -yet- so when I saw an article in the Southern
Star dated
November 17th
last, I realised my chance to catch up on this item.
The
article was written by Perry O'Donovan, a West Cork native,
presently undertaking the complete walk over a period of 40 days. He
demonstrated the various experiences along the route, the different
places he visited and that some were "scrappy
little villages like Reenascreena".
So,
there you have it.
Our
village now has
a "reference point" but for all the wrong reasons. Is it a fair
description? It seems extraordinary that as full members of the E.U.
over the past 35 years, have we advanced much? How is it that some
people can hijack the normal progress of a place and this has
happened on many occasions? What can be done about it? Does it
matter?
In
October of this year, a sum of 5000euros had to be refused from the
County Council for village renewal
as agreement could not be reached on how to use it. Unbelievable.
