Local vistas combined with scenes of birds and insects at work or at leisure are among the subjects of Gaeltacht Mhúscraí s photography group, Club Chamera Locha Lua.
The snappers in the very busy club have been providing their photos for the local email newsletter which is distributed weekly by Coiste Forbartha Bhéal Átha n Ghaorthaidh, a local news service which has proved invaluable during the months of lockdown.
A recently organised online photography course has also been well attended with more than 20 attending the weekly workshops to get tips and knowledge about getting the best results from their efforts.
Macroom has a new Sinn Féin cumann and, if its choice of name is anything to go by, they plan to stir things up on the local political scene.
The Seán Riobard Ó Suilleabháin Cumann is named after a 19th century agitator for land reform who was convicted (falsely, it is claimed) of murder and jailed for 20 years. After he emerged from prison, he took up where he left off and, by one historian s account, took part in the War of Independence.
Interestingly Seán Riobard Ó Suilleabháin, according to the book by his great grand-son, Barry Keane, was mostly active in Millstreet and Kilcorney direction, where he hailed from and where he was buried.
