Listowel Writers’ Week 2018

Listowel shopfronts are some of the finest in the land. Country towns are losing out to plastic signs and chain store shop fronts. Listowel stood out with its beautiful Pat McAuliffe plasterwork, its stunning paintwork and beautiful woodwork and mosaic…. I greatly fear that we are losing this unique feature.
