You need to have been involved in it to understand and there's no way it can be explained adequately to an outsider. As for Moyasta, I won't mourn its passing - it was always going to end this way run by an arrogant SOB. I know from first-hand experience of dealing with the individual concerned. Blennerville was hijacked by a coterie of local business interests and Tralee UDC and was always doomed to fail once they drove off the enthusiasts. As for the other well known project...what goes around comes around and I won't be shedding any tears.

Same problem in Derry when the Council took over the Museum they  drove the enthusiasts out and closed the railway/museum out within months for 15 years to save money!

JG Dewing also visited the Swilly during 1940
