Mayo County Council in partnership with WEEE Ireland are holding a “Wagon Day” in Currane in the Community Centre/Church Car-park on Thursday, 8th March, 2012, from 10am – 3pm. We are encouraging people to make use of this special recycling event and check out their attics and garages for all electrical items which are no longer in working order. Basically, people can recycle anything which is operated by a plug or a battery for free at this collection event.

I am in the process of selling my house here in the UK and I am seriously thinking of buying a house in Achill.
I am a widow in my fifties and I have led a very active life as a social worker and in Adult Education. I have seen a lovely house for sale in Currane.
Come on Dear Friendly folk convince me that i can make friends in your wonderful community. I am Irish and I have a love of the west.
Many Thanks
I look forward to your comments

It’s a Bank Holiday weekend so naturally the weather has taken a downturn. Here are some amazing pictures, taken last night by Ian Boyle. Corraun House and Sweeney’s Pier in the lightning.

Happy Easter everyone!

Power Cut 29/3/2011

There was a power cut yesterday (29th March) in Currane. We were without electricity for approx. 5 hours. (6.30am – 11.30am). We have no idea why. We’d love to know, leave us a comment if you do. There was no wind and certainly it wasn’t a lightning strike. I think the area affected went as far as Polranny. I thought it would be interesting to make a note of it here so that we have a record of how often this happens over the years.

Contact me to arrange purchase using the code: CLEW BAY. The poster is 500 x 700mm and fits into a cheap ready made frame that should be easy to purchase.
