<p>Hello Luke, many thanks for your kind posting. My full name is Robin Sheldon which doesn't mean anything else in any other language (just my weird sense of humour). I was originally born in South Africa and my father was a foreign correspondent and we lived for a while in Chicargo then Toronto before being transferred to the UK. After our schooling many years later my parents moved to Artane, Dublin in the early '70's and this is when my love for Ireland started to blosson. We are retired now and have been to the SW region many times (Killarney) and this year went to Cong specifically to find out more about the film locations relating to 'The Quiet Man' and of course the countryside which we thorughly enjoyed. It must be very frustrating at times dealing with issues but unfortunately that's life and one can only but continue the quest. Nice to hear from you, ATB Robin.</p> Hi Robin, Please allow me to…tag:thewildgeese.irish,2014-10-06:6442157:Comment:1216822014-10-06T08:34:35.994ZLuke Gerard Laniganhttps://thewildgeese.irish/profile/LukeGerardLanigan

<p>Hi Robin, Please allow me to introduce myself. My Name is Luke Gerard Lanigan, in Gaelic that reads: Lucas Gearóid Ó Lonagain. I was born and reared in Dublin. 21 years ago I moved to Galway and here I still live. I have an interest in Tourism, Cultural and Heritage. I admire people with foresight who are willing to adapt a positive and constructive approach to progress.With the exception of a son's admiration for his Father, I have never wished or pretended to be anybody else.Yes, I am in the early stages of developing a friendship with both Patrick McCormack and June Beck, I am enjoying the experience and look forward to strengthening that friendship, now and into the future. The fact that some of my ideas, goals and opinions may mirror somebody else's,is is not to difficult to comprehend considering the enormity of the global community. However it appears not everybody can understand this.I see it as a pointless exercise to continue in a chat, discussion or debate with someone who refuses to accept that I actually exist ( I wish the Tax Man would take that approach :) ). In the meantime I will look forward in hope that someday the state will stand up an represent their electorate by providing the local community with the opportunity to enhance their area, with improvements within in the rural tourism sector.I have no doubt that the wider global community will also enjoy the benefits of such progress. ......Regards.....Lucas</p> Patrick / Luke , , you f…tag:thewildgeese.irish,2014-10-05:6442157:Comment:1217642014-10-05T21:36:26.981Zmike wardhttps://thewildgeese.irish/profile/mikeward

<p>Hi,</p>
<p>On a slightly different note, can anyone throw any light on the run down neglected bungalow that was built right next to White O'Morn? I am curious as to why it was built in the first place and why right next to White O'Morn. Was this built before Mr Ebbit bought the land or since? It's nothing but an eye sore to say the least and what a terrible shame it's so close to White O'Morn. Thanks in anticipation for any replies.</p>

With reference to the gap between the different groups / communities advocating the same cause, this is totally irrelevant. The two groups that I am aware of are " Save The Quiet Man Cottage", "White O'Morn Foundation" and of course the wider public. All of these combined, exist only as moral support for a local initiative. In fact it is inspirational to see and hear the level of support that exists.

" I’ve met some folks who say that I’m a dreamer " . I am also an optimist and a great believer in the positive approach. So please God, all is not lost.............. My reply ......... Lucas . Im sorry to note you have misinterpreted my previous response to you , First of all yes i have been and still am in regular contact with Geggory Ebbitt that is NOT claim but a fact , And yes i have asked Mr. Ebbitt those crucial questions about his lands being used by a local farmer , i asked him if he was in receipt of fees from the farmer for the use of his lands Mr. Ebbits response was a resounding NO ...... he ( Mr. Ebbitt ) went on to declare that anyone using his land for livestock grazing were squatters , they had no permission from him or his family , Now Lucas my mentioning these facts on this discussion page is not asking questions but i am merely expressing my curiosity as to why this issue has not been raised on this page before my doing so is to bring out in the open to you and other members of this forum some of the very odd and questionable behind the scenes goings on in relation to the cottage after all ,isint that what this discussion is all about to open debate or am i missing something here , </span></p>
