OF uu (orem Menara Leys feature on the area after one of their journalists enjoyed a stay in east Clare on her holidays.
Theresa Brown of East Clare Tour- ism said her organisation had been involved in helping the newspaper to put together an article on things to do and amenities in the Lough Derg
area.
“They had a huge interest in the lake and the various activities avail- able and they were particularly inter- ested in fishing and other activities,” said Theresa. “We gave them all the information we could. We’re very pleased that the area is getting this kind of exposure and publicity.”
A spokesperson for Clare County Council said the local authority had also been involved in supplying in- formation on places to stay and things to do in the environs of Lough Doyse
Meanwhile, the East Clare Tourism
organisation held its annual general meeting last week, and elected Ea- mon Moroney of Scariff as chair- man, and Bodyke councillor, Colm Wiley as vice chair.
Teresa Brown was appointed sec- retary and Mary Corry of Tulla was elected assistant secretary. Joint treasurers for the year are Vera O’Rourke of Mountshannon and Elaine Rodgers of Whitegate.
Councillor Pat Hayes told the group that funds have been sanctioned by Clare County Council to support their work.
Members of East Clare Tourism
attending the AGM said they were very pleased with the proposed de- velopment of the hotel, golf club and equestrian centre at Tinarana, which, it was felt would greatly enhance the amenities in Lough Derg and the surrounding area.
The next meeting of the group will take place on March 11 in Teach Ui Bhriain at 8pm.
