Craft Fair

The new date for the Ballyfermot Christmas Craft Fair has been set for Saturday December 18th, the location remains the same at the Ballyfermot Civic Centre

Community Access Awareness

Mary eliminated from the Semi Final Stage

Commiserations to Mary Byrne who despite her X Factor ousting over the weekend was eliminated from the X Factor at the semi final stage.
It seems as though the dream is just beginning as Louis Walsh has hinted the mother-of-one will record an album and has been offered a clothing range contract for supermarket giants Marks and Spencers.
All we can say is Mary you did yourself proud by being for us, with us and never denying yourself in your magnificent and most public journey.

Craft Fair Cancelled

Due to weather conditions we have postponed the Craft Fair to a further time. Please check back soon for the rescheduled information for the new date.
