About the rathkeale.com website

Rathkeale.com and the Rathkeale Facebook page are provided as community services by Rathkeale Champion, David Lamont. This website serves as a valuable resource, offering a directory, event calendar, information about local organisations and a balanced portrayal of Rathkeale, directly countering the often-skewed narratives presented by mainstream media.

With their keen intellect, Irish citizens effectively harness the internet’s advantages. According to the Town Centre First Plan Draft (PDF page 18) the Rathkeale’s Digital Town Blueprint reveals strong connectivity, but weaknesses in the digital economy, business, and tourism. Overall, Rathkeale is “Defined Competitive” with potential for improvement.

For potential visitors, rathkeale.com is striving to highlight the town’s attractions, from the scenic Greenway to its ancestral connections, and popular events such as the Traveller-enhanced St. Patrick’s Day parade.

Furthermore, the website strives to showcase the convenience of local shopping and the availability of essential services, demonstrating Rathkeale’s value not just as a destination, but as a thriving community. Ultimately, rathkeale.com empowers readers to form their own informed opinions and discover the true essence of Rathkeale.
