Rural movement ‘more relevant’ than ever

THE community development movement Muintir na Tíre has never been as relevant as it is today in helping vulnerable and isolated members of society.

That’s according to chairman Martin Quinn, who told a commemorative event that service to community remained the cornerstone of service to country.

Former Mountjoy prison governor John Lonergan and Munster MEP Sean Kelly were among the attendance in Bansha, Co Tipperary, looking back on the history of Muintir na Tíre, which celebrates its 75th birthday next year.
