Date Published: 16-Apr-2011
A well-known landmark in the village of Ardrahan in South Galway has collapsed.
The roof and back walls of an 18th century thatched house in the centre of the village square fell in yesterday evening.
The house is owned by Ardrahan-based county councillor Michael Fahy, who collected his mail there every morning.
Cllr Fahy says the site has been secured and there is no danger to the public.
The cottage dates back to the late 1700s and was the public visiting house for the village down the centuries when owned by the Kelly family.
It was also visited by two Taoisigh, Jack Lynch in 1977 and Charles Haughey in 1989.
