ℹ️Getting your landlord to do repairs!If you’re struggling to get your landlord to fix issues in your home - there are steps you can take 🏠🔨

Step 1: Report in Writing

• Document everything: Send a message via email, text, or WhatsApp to your landlord or property agent. Never rely on a phone call or verbal conversation alone.

• Include details: State the exact nature of the repair, attach clear photographs or videos of the issue, and note the date.

• Set a deadline: Give a clear, reasonable timeframe for the fix (e.g., immediate/urgent for safety or heating failures, up to 14–28 days for routine maintenance).

This advice from Threshold could help⤵️

🧙Did you know that the tradition of carving 🎃pumpkins began in Ireland in the 18th century?

🍀According to Irish folklore, Halloween 🎃can be traced back to the ancient Celtic tradition of Samhain. 🧙The old Irish for 'summer's end', Samhain marked the end of the harvest 🍎🥦🥔🧅🍏🍌season and the start of the New Year

☘️The Irish carved turnips and placed lights in their windows to keep away roaming spirits on 🎃Halloween night.

🇮🇪When Irish immigrants went to 🇺🇸North America, they found that turnips were less common, so they substituted pumpkins for their Halloween tradition🎃

🍀🎃A little history on Samhain’ (sow-win)

💥3,000 years ago, in pagan Ireland, the ancient Celts celebrated ‘Samhain’ (sow-win), a harvest festival to mark the start of winter, when the veil between this world and the next was at its weakest and spirits – the Púcaí (Puca) – and fairies walked the earth.

🧙Traditions began that last to this day. Large communal 🔥bonfires were lit to ward off demons, and embers were carried home in a hollow turnip (the original Jack O’Lantern),

👺 Masks were worn as disguises against evil spirits (the first Halloween costumes) and soul cakes were offered to children and the poor (today’s trick or treating).

🍞A barmbrack cake was baked to forecast the future and this fruit loaf is still eaten today. Emigrants brought these customs to North America, then it spread around the world as Halloween. But its spiritual home will always be Samhain in Ireland.
🍀Irish & proud🍀

👻🧙Have a spooky one 🎃👻

We are so proud to announce that our own club man, Eoin, has been nominated for a Cavan Volunteer in Sport Award!

There are few more deserving of this award, with Eoin giving so much of his time to his beloved Rory O’Moores.

Whether it’s putting out flags, cleaning the dugouts and stand, helping on match days, moving goalposts or assisting with teams at training and at matches, the full extent of Eoin’s work, although not always fully realised by many, is greatly appreciated by us all.

Eoin has become synonymous with our club, travelling near and far to support the Rories. Now, we are all getting behind him as he attends the awards ceremony on November 5th in the Hotel Kilmore, where he is nominated for the Cavan Volunteer in Sport Award.

Best of luck, Eoin - and thanks for all that you do! 👏
