A new development strategy identifying four key pillars as the vision of the future of Shannonbridge was published recently.
For many years, Shannonbridge was the home to a peat fire power station and, in many ways, this facility and the peat extraction activities, which were needed to provide its fuel supply defined the principal function and employment base for the village.
Following the decision to cease peat production on the nearby peatlands and to wind down the generating function of the power station, the need arose for the re-imagining of the community and the identification of activities replacing those associated with the peat extraction and electricity generation rather than as additions to them.
