Glenribbeen Eco Lodge - accommodation is now alas closed.


Glenribbeen Eco Lodge, Lismore, County Waterford on a November's morn, 2009

We closed the accommodation in September of 2014 when the county council closed our access road without warning.

We haven't considered opening the accommodation since but still run the music and archery schools.

Official Google Blog: India Internet Bus Project rolls in

Official Google Blog: India Internet Bus Project rolls in
Bully for India.
But why can't westerners save rain and "grey" water???
I note that every summer people are fined, warned, excorciated for watering their cars, lawns, flowerbeds while 100's of liters/gals of shower, tap,sink, etc water goes down the drain. Why not simply put a soap-catcher (a tub in line with the flow, basicially ) and water all you want then???
The soap gets either scooped out for use as a carwash or put into compost (it's mostly veggie-oil and ash) or washed down the drain with the next rainstorm.
Get wise, get a tub. A few barrels too.!!
