During a time of sickness, hospitalizations, death and fear of illness, the long winter was like a gloomy house guest who had moved in for good.
But spring is here, nature is reawakening, and so, too, are many of us, eager for a time beyond the pandemic, which changed everything.
We often forget that spring is, among other things, the season that requires patience to appreciate. If summer is the season of freedom, autumn the time of reflection, and winter a time to hunker down and count our blessings, then spring is the season of possibility.
The springtime moveable feasts of the two great western religions, Easter and Passover arrived. One commemorates resurrection and renewal; the other celebrates the principle of forging ahead into freedom through the powers of community, faith and justice. These concepts are so deep within most of us that we can’t give words to them, but they are present in our appreciation of the changing seasonal light

A Drumshanbo man who “viciously assaulted” another man by punching him and breaking his nose had “to be dragged kicking and screaming to the point he pleaded guilty” said Judge Kevin Kilrane at Carrick-on-Shannon District Court last week.
Luke Tuite, 15 Hillcrest Grove, Drumshanbo pleaded guilty to a Section 3 assault on Declan Keating at High St, Drumshanbo on March 18, 2019.
The case originally came before the court on November 2, 2020 where full evidence was heard. The case was then adjourned for a psychiatric report and a probation report on the defendant.
In the court last November, Sgt Michael Gallagher outlined the facts. He said the victim in this case had been socialising on St Patrick s Day and at 12.40am on the following morning he phoned his father to collect him.

For the first time since its inception, the Shoreline Access Task Force encountered a challenge to the work it’s been doing to address problems of water access points and solutions to mitigate conflicts between residents and visitors.
Task Force Members have received their share of compliments since the work began, but as they approached completion of initial recommendations to deal with the most troublesome problems that have plagued residents for years, they heard from a critic who said their draft would exacerbate problems and fail to meet the goals they sought.
