The ‘MORE News

The ‘More News, our local community magazine produced by the ORANMORE Community Development Association CLG (OCDA) has relaunched as an e-magazine.

The ‘More News was first launched in October, 1995 by the Oranmore Community Development Association under it’s then Chairman Ray O’Donoghue who has remained as Editor and proof-reader for all 223 issues to date. Initial production took place in a small office in Keane’s Bar with a small team of young dedicated enthusiasts which included Michael Mulqueen as Managing Editor, Síle O’Donoghue as production manager, Paul Byrnes as Sports Editor, Leah Donoghue in Finance, Sheila Byrnes was the Advertising Manager, Marion Heery as distribution manager, Mary Conroy was chief news reporter, Linda Macken in accounts and with contributions from Colm Clancy, Gráinne Úí Ceallacháin, Elizabeth Byrnes, Henry Walshe and many more down through the years. 

Over the years, the production moved to the fulltime staff in the OCDA office with the responsibility falling to Jonathan Kent, Rose Flanagan, Anne Finn and Aimee Regan.

The ‘MORE News Magazine provides a great opportunity for local businesses to support their community magazine while also promoting their own business to the people of Oranmore.
