Glendalough & District Development Association This year will see the Glendalough & District Development Association celebrate 18 years in existence. During its tenure the Association has overseen many projects that have enhanced and advanced the area and its environs, such as the Brockagh Resource Centre, the footpath linking Laragh and Glendalough, the Millennium monument and the Glendalough website, to name but a few. The Association exists to serve and address the needs of the community and in order to carry out its function we would like all who live in the area to express their views on the direction future development should take. To this purpose the Association has organised an “Open Night” which will be held on Friday 16 April at 8 p.m. in the Brockagh Resource Centre, we invite you all to come so as the Glendalough District Development Association can create an effective organisation that will meet the needs of our community now and into the future.
