Welcome to Lorrha and Dorrha, Co Tipperary

Buy a Brick - Extend St Ruadhan's Community Hall - €100 per brick

If you would like to support our work extending and redeveloping our community hall into a dedicated cafe, shop, and heritage centre, you can now make an online donation via PayPal.

For each brick that is bought, the donor's name will eventually be included on a commemorative plaque inside the new extension.

If you would like your name to be featured, please be sure to include your details in the comments section when making the donation.

Each plaque can hold a maximum of approximately 4 words, for example "The Kennedy Family, Rathcabbin", "Joe & Mary Bloggs, Lorrha", "Patrick Reilly, New York".

Any names or contact details will only be used for this purpose and for future communication between S.C.E.A.L. and the donors. They will not be shared or sold to third parties.

The SCEAL community shop is managed and staffed entirely by local volunteers, providing a much needed service for the surrounding area as well as a fascinating opportunity for visitors to explore local crafts. So whether you need your weekly groceries or a unique idea for a gift, be sure to call in!

The SCEAL shop has also functioned as a vital social hub for the community, giving a chance for people to catch up with friends and family over a cuppa and a slice of cake. Visitors are just as welcome, and often get a wonderful insight into the local area by getting to sit down and share some food and drink with locals.



If you have any queries about the shop, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
