Colmcille Community Centre will be temporarily closed from 17th February to 2nd March due to essential construction work on the roof structure. For safety reasons, the area will be designated as a construction site, and no access will be permitted during this period. The community centre committee apologises for any inconvenience and appreciates the cooperation of the community. This project is funded by the Department of Rural and Community Development and Longford County Council under the CLÁR Programme.
