Members of the website development team and NTDC members
The parish of Lorrha and Dorrha celebrated the launch of its new website, www.lorrhadorrha.ie, at a special event in Lorrha Hall on January 22, 2025. This exciting development was made possible through funding from North Tipperary Development Company’s Social Inclusion and Community Activation Programme (SICAP).
The new website combines the work of two existing sites. Firstly, it builds on the legacy of the former Lorrha and Dorrha parish website, which faithfully served the community for many years under the dedicated management of Rose Mannion. Rose’s contributions laid the foundation for this enhanced platform, which is designed to bring the community closer together.
Additionally, the new website incorporates the current website of the Social and Community Enterprise for the Advancement of Lorrha and Rathcabbin (SCEAL), www.visitlorrhadorrha.com, which will eventually be retired. The combined content ensures that www.lorrhadorrha.ie is a comprehensive resource for residents and visitors alike.
Developed by Michael Collins of Pixelweb, the site reflects a true community effort. It was updated and enriched with the help of members from SCEAL, the Lorrha & Dorrha Archaeological and Historical Society, Rathcabbin Development Association, and Lorrha Development Association. This spirit of collaboration has resulted in an exceptional platform that will serve the parish for years to come.
The website offers a wide range of features, including information about local organisations, parish history, and the latest news. Visitors can browse past editions of the Parish Calendar, view engaging videos, and access the current parish newsletter.
Community members are encouraged to share their own news and updates by contacting info@lorrhadorrha.ie.
The launch of www.lorrhadorrha.ie marks an important milestone for the parish, providing a modern and dynamic hub that celebrates the vibrant heritage of Lorrha and Dorrha while connecting the community in new ways.
