Taking and Writing Minutes By Muintircork on 08 Dec 2014 09:51 am The minutes are a permanent record of an Organisation’s activities and decisions.

What I would like to do in the course of the next 20 minutes or so is look at the amenities that the Killeagh/Inch community currently has to offer and look to the challenges which both The Killeagh/Inch community and indeed any other rural town in Ireland faces over the coming years. The Killeagh / Inch community as a rural Irish parish has experienced many changes over the past number of years and many changes can be expected by 2020. It is difficult to predict these changes but we can look at how we can work together to make our community a better place to live and work. Even looking back 10 / 15 years ago who would have thought
