This is an unprecedented time of great difficulty an fear for all of us, but particularly for the elderly and those with underlying medical conditions. The community encourages all of you to stay home and stay safe. Our heartfelt sympathies must go out to all the small businesses, particularly pubs, restaurants, cafes and coffee shops that have been forced to close their doors due to this crisis and to all those who have lost their jobs on account of these closures. During this time, the ÚLL will continue publication as long as possible, to convey information locally about businesses that are still operating, changes and closures in existing services, and new services available, particularly for the more vulnerable members of our community.If you have information that you want to pass on to the community, please contact the ÚLL

074 9165124 / 086 857 3792, info@celticcards.ie, www.theull.com, or on Facebook.

NA TITHE GLOINEA Chairde, As per recommendations from the relevant authorities, Cill Ulta will remain open for business at this time. We do ask that site visits are restricted to essential needs only (seed potatoes, etc. are still available - see attached for full listing) and that all who come on site report directly to the main office for assistance. In order to keep our staff and our customers as safe as possible, we will not be accepting any volunteers until further notice. Additionally, all classes/courses have been postponed until national restrictions have been lifted. All staff have been briefed on the most up-to-date Covid-19 protection methods as per the HSE’s Public Health Advise publications. We will do everything in our power to continue to provide fresh, local, sustainable produce to you, our friends and neighbors.
