Loop Head colours at Christmas
Well have made it to Christmas. We hope you are all ready and organised for the big day.
A lot of us will be having a very different festive season this year. Some of us will be on our own or without our key members of the family. It is a strange one this year. We hope you will get to see someone you care about and enjoy some tasty treats. Have you decorated the house? Both Kilkee and Carrigaholt have gone to town with the decorations this year.

We wish you all a very happy and healthy Christmas and New Year. Keep Safe.
