The Castleisland / Sliabh Luachra Twinning Association is organising a visit to its twinned town of Bannalec this year. The visit will commence on Sunday July 31st and the party will fly from Cork to Nantes airport.

“We will spend a few days in Bannalec, Brittany and the group will be hosted by families while there. Our Bannalec friends spent a week in Ireland last July and stayed with us in Castleisland for three nights,” said spokesman, John O’Donoghue.

“It is always an enjoyable experience when we meet our friends and families and Brittany is a lovely part of France to visit with plenty to do and see. Our stay this year will coincide with the 10 day Lorient Celtic Festival – which the last group that travelled to Bannalec in 2014 had the pleasure of attending.

“If you are interested in travelling with the group to Brittany or for further information please contact John on 087 24 62 098, Hugh on 085 17 40 677 ,” said Mr. O’Donoghue.
