Kilrush Local History Group was founded at Kilrush Community School in 2009 by teacher Laura Hogan and students Siobhan Behan, Leah Brew, Mark Glynn, Niamh Mulqueen, Ruth O’Dea, Kerry Prendeville, Ciara Purcell and Laura Ryan. The group aims to raise awareness of the history of Kilrush in both the school itself and of course the wider community.
