Hi,

Thank you very much for your message. I hope that someone from the area is able to clarify this for you. In the meantime, it may be an idea to get in contact with the local studies department of Clare COunty Library, they may be able to assist you with this. Here is  link to their webpage:

Please be patient - as our programme has only begun to rollout across the island of Ireland and volunteers in some areas may not yet be organized.

Kind regards,
