Congressman Jim Mc Dermott visited Kilteevan last Thursday afternoon (August 20th. 2014) during his visit to Ireland.
Congressman Mc Dermott, a man with deep Roscommon roots, experienced a flavour of Kilteevan’s rich history and heritage through his visit.
He visited Kilteevan Community Centre, Kilteevan House Gate Lodge,
Kilteevan’s historic cemetery, Kilteevan’s unique bog landscape and other parts of Kilteevan’s Heritage Trail. Congressman Mc Dermott chatted with members of the local community whom he met on the tour, one of whom, coincidentally shared a common surname!
During his visit Jim also viewed photographs of Kilteevan Gathering 2013 and was impressed by Kilteevan’s attempt to link with its diaspora.
Jim was presented with a photobook of Kilteevan to mark the occasion of his visit.
