Today, Strokestown Tidy Town Group were out in the beautiful cemetery in Lisonuffy assisting the Ballybeg Development and Cemetery Committee. Lisonuffy is situated at the foot of Sliabh Báwn only a short walk from Franks Bar and Mountain Brew. There are huge historic, religious and social connections with Cloontuskert (The Abbey). This really shows again the need for a Community Employment Scheme in our area, with cemeteries like Lisonuffy, Bumlin, the Famine Burial Ground in Cloonslanor needing to be maintained. The plots of families who have gone before are as important to our heritage and history as we are to their future. Hopefully Roscommon Leader Partnership and Roscommon County Council will help the Sliabh Báwn Community Amenity Group in realising their efforts in getting a CE scheme to the region.
