Sustainable Fashion
On the Saturday of Listowel Races the fashion competition features a different kind of dressing. Anne Leneghan and Maria Stack are wearing some preloved style.
Anne’a hat was fashioned from the material that was cut off to shorten the dress. She embellished it with an old brooch.
The criteria were slightly different this year. In other years, repurposing was a big part of the look and then this dress, made entirely from old neckties, would have been in with a chance.
These outfits look as good today as when they were first worn.

Another Memorial
In 2021, on the 100th anniversary of his death, Kathleen Griffin took these photographs of the memorial to Jack Sheehan. This monument is about a mile off the Tarbert Road on the road to the right after Amber Filling Station.
