St. Coman’s Church & Graveyard: A large part of the graveyard remains in private ownership.  Kinvara Heritage Group continue efforts to establish on what valid grounds title has been granted to these individuals. Galway County Council remain active and continue to assure all efforts are being made on their side to establish the facts.  Continued efforts are being made by Public Representatives for which KHG is grateful. Efforts will continue until this matter is resolved.

Taxi Service in Kinvara: Our local driver, James Fahy, has decided to retire from taxi-driving and will finish up on Sunday 4th June. We would like to take this opportunity to thank James for his many years of providing a great service to our community and wish him the very best for the future. It does, however, leave us without a taxi service in the village and surrounding areas. This is a much needed service. If you, or anyone you know, hold a taxi licence and have some time on your hands, this is a great opportunity to work locally!
