Can anyone help this nice lady identify the shop?
“Hello
I wonder if you can help me. I came to Inishmor a couple of years ago and bought some beautiful wool mittens from a small shop on the island that appeared to specialise in a lot of lovely wool items such as jumpers, scarves, mittens, etc. The reason I ask is because I had my handbag stolen a couple of days ago with the mittens inside and I would dearly love to replace them. Would you happen to know the name of it and any contact information?
Many thanks”

From Gordon Deegan in the Irish Times.
Gordon writes that the promoter of a seaplane plan for the west is facing opposition. The plan by Harbourair Ireland involves planning applications to 3 local authorities for facilities at Galway, Inishmore and Lough Derg.
The opposition seems to be centered on Lough Derg with objectors claiming that birds will be put in danger.
A facility in Foynes Co. Limerick is also part of the plan.
Looks like the promotors may have a battle on their hands.
I’m sure the service will be welcomed on the Aran Islands and Kilronan is the location envisioned for landing facilities.
No objection have been made in Galway city or Inishmore. Decisions are due later this month. We wish the developers luck as any plan that makes the Islands more accessible has to be welcomed in these dificult times.

The Aran Islands are not for sale.
Things are not so good in Limerick where there is a story circulating that limerick City Council are preparing to sell the famous “Treaty Stone”, one of the most famous symbols of that city. There has even been a facebook group established to help save the monument.
