St. Joseph's Residential, Respite & Equine Therapy Development In Kanturk

At a recent public meeting at Scoil Mhuire Kanturk, plans were unveiled to develop an

equine therapy centre in Meelaherragh, Kanturk.

This will be established by St Joseph’s Foundation in Charleville and modelled on the hugely successful centre at Liskennet Co.Limerick.

Speakers on that evening included David Doyle of St Joseph’s Foundation, Michael Moynihan TD,

and Kate Jarvey.

Funding of 2.7 million euro has been granted by government to set up the centre and the site was very kindly donated by local philanthropist Kate Jarvey.

All About The Christmas Lights In Kanturk

Kanturk Christmas Lights Committee has decided to go ahead & erect as many of the Christmas lights as possible again this year. They feel that it’s important for the businesses of the town and it creates a feel good factor for visitors and the general public who during these difficult times need a moral boost & a bit of festive spirit. The Kanturk lights are all new modern LED’s which are energy efficient & cost little to run over the Christmas period. For those who supply electricity for the lights, our electricians estimate the cost will be no more than €30 per business/household for the whole duration from early December to mid-January. We would like to thank all those businesses & households who agree to put up the lights on their premises & houses as well as supplying the electricity at their own expense.
