very much and we're very happy with the news center well over the years that have been several times indeed would have used Excel cottage and we hope to increase on doors numbers for informative more activity more different things it offers various activities to my age group and to the or generation two and at the moment we're doing social dance classes so anyone from an angel condom giant learn how to dance different we're using different answers and we all set off to two people had to hock so there's comfort asses were on so my mother takes charge of those and she brings in people who murder in her to complet she doesn't the traditional ways how to encourage back years ago how to make this concept of about Popeye so that's really that's really doing well for us and also all those walks around the community and so we're at the moment were trying to link off the walks with jazz cottage and maybe this could be a staff halfway to fit so they could come here maybe to your scorn and because of our benefit you want us to walk while the plans for future objects or cottages hopefully we get just in the comedy on 2014 we would have a fitness spinning cycling other bike getting fish after all at the top they were easy then we hope to to have the playground for kids and a little kind of a pet farm where the kids can come around and see all the different elements that we're happening we had most of them already we'll just still put them put them in place and get them in an area where the kids can see them very easily not to have to walk around the whole town to see something like this and also we are thinking in the future of having a smaller camping site in Malaysia the character but people can come and they wouldn't have to leave with the cumbia to have some of these the events were told that would be fit to stay here for that nation they've been moving the next morning you establishments such as Jack's cottage are extremely important from a community perspective from a tourist perspective from a heritage from a cultural perspective but also from an economic perspective it's extremely important particularly for the West of Ireland that individuals have an opportunity to actually meet amalgamate and discuss issues that are actually relevant not only that - by having establishments such as this dotted along the west coast of Ireland attracts economic activity into a particular area and this is extremely important for the individuals that are residing residing in that area and also for the future people that plan to actually reside in that area by attracting activities related to our Irish heritage and Irish culture we ensure that we actually retain those particular activities in other words we bring them to life again keep them alive and ensure that they are actually embedded in our future again it's important that these are shared with individuals from right across the world and the importance of attracting tourists into particular areas supported with the necessary infrastructure helps to actually promote and develop the western coast of Ireland it's extremely important that we continue to develop this protect rural Ireland right throughout the world and one way of actually achieving this is by actually having the necessary infrastructure and supports such as Jack's castle cottage in place to ensure that we have individuals in the local community interacting with individuals from right across the world so as twin - er that we have acted economic activity retained on the Western Corridor of Ireland to allow it to grow into the future right sure thank you thanks for calling to see me thank you for the original tour hey you can leave it up to Steve I you have to pump it up good job willin like an old kid yeah that's quite here huh bye-bye see ya by travelpod member you
