Official Opening of the Drumlish to Monaduff Walkway - North Longford Rebel Trail

Longford County Council Regeneration Department were delighted to welcome Minister Michael Ring, Minster for Rural and Community Development to officially open the Drumlish to Monaduff section of the North Longford Rebel Trail on Thursday 5th March, 2020 at Monaduff Sports Grounds, Monaduff, Drumlish, Co. Longford.

The North Longford Rebel Trail reflects the wonderful and unique history of involvement in insurrections and rebellions from the Normans up to the War of Independence.  The trail also presents the first phase in the linking of the two ends of the parish of Drumlish and Ballinamuck and providing a safe link for the residents of the parish to access the sports grounds.
The launch of the Drumlish Ballinamunk Integrated Action Plan also took place. The plan identified a number of priority actions and projects, including the development of a walkway/cycleway from Drumlish to Monaduff sportsground, to support safe access for people wishing to utilise the sports facilities at Monaduff GAA grounds. This project was funded under the Outdoor Recreation Infrastructure Scheme, administered by the Department of Rural and Community Development, under Project Ireland 2040 and implemented by Longford County Council Regeneration Department
