We are delighted to announce that the 2006 Ionad an Mhachaire founders/committee will open the 2026 Maghery Community Festival 🎉🎉
This year the Centre celebrates its 20th birthday & without tireless volunteers like the 2006 team, Ionad an Mhachaire simply wouldn’t exist.
It began with a dream back in the late 90’s, grew legs in meetings in Crohy Hostel, got its first walls in the form of a Prefab in the car park & officially opened its doors in 2006.
Thank you to all those committee members who came before & after the 2006 team, your efforts are wholeheartedly appreciated by the entire community. Maghery has always been blessed with people who want our village to grow & flourish.
We welcome everyone to join us for our official opening on Friday July 10th ⭐ 2️⃣0️⃣ ⭐
The 2006 founders/committee are:
- Gerard Glackin
- Mary Hannah Gallagher
- Jim O’Donnell (current committee member)
- Geraldine Doherty (current committee member)
- James Glackin (current committee member)
- Anne Rodgers
- Brian Sweeney (current committee member)
- Frances Ferry Boyle
- Anthony Houston
- Anne Theresa Sweeney
- Cormac Hartnett
