I can remember when this part of Cork was considered a sleepy backwater, perhaps a tab behind the times.... not so now! This thrusting, go-ahead community is, if anything, really forcing itself into the future. Why at the Ballydehob Community Hall website we see the banner headline :-

Merry Christmas & a peaceful New Year for 2013.

Phew! Some of us have only just got used to it being 2012. Talk about a thrusting go-ahead community!
