Connacht Tribune 16th April, 1966 p.9

Miss C. Nally, a member of Kinvara’s oldest families, offered to donate some of her property in the harbour area in the interests of the residents who are considering their town as a tourist centre, and the project of constructing a promenade was discussed. All householders were called upon to co-operate in beautifying their premises and the site of a community centre was decided upon.
