Glendalough Resource Centre
Glendalough & District Development Association was founded in 1990, with the intention of co-ordinating efforts within the Glendalough area, to develop the area in a sustainable manner for the benefit of the local community.
The Association has been involved in many projects over the years, and in particular played an important role in the production of the Focus Action Plan for the Laragh/Glendalough area. The committees involvement in these various projects, has resulted in the introduction of the Information Technology Centre, the Millennium Time Capsule, and the new Car Park at Brockagh, amongst others. Committee members are also involved in the Tourism Pilot Initiative, currently forwarding the recommendations of the Visitor Management Study, with a budget of IR£330,000.
