The Time Out Podcast EP 82 'Burtonport Community Centre 30 Years Opened' July 26th '2023

On the 11th of July 1993 a new community centre opened in Burtonport. Througout the years it has proved a fantastic hub for many different occasions, fundraisers, children's parties, ETB ran classes and so much more.  The building has proved an extremely worthwhile addition. Recently the centre celebrated 30 years opened and I thought I couldn't let the day pass without marking it someway. I interviewed 4 people on the day of the celebrations, and  2 people the following day. Those interviewed were Mary Ellen Hyland, Patricia O'Donnell-Byrne, Margaret Boner, David Alcorn, Margaret Reilly and Mary McGee.  All 6 have varying stories of their input into the centre over the years, without this input the centre would not be what it is today. I hope you enjoy the interviews.
