inniskeen enterprise development group
Promotes economic and social regeneration in the village of Inniskeen, primarily through tourism associated with the local poet Patrick Kavanagh. Funding enables the restoration of two galleries of St. Mary’s Church, which houses the Patrick Kavanagh Rural & Literary Resource Centre.

“The funding provided by The American Ireland Fund has enabled us to provide essential seating. This gives us the opportunity to hold larger events such as the Patrick Kavanagh Weekend, which is hugely popular and growing in numbers each year. Through this event we can encourage interest in Kavanagh and promote the memory of this great poet.”
