After years of dedicated service, we say a fond farewell as Seamus Cornyn retires from Cavan County Council today.

From Cavan Burren Park to Lough MacNean Amenity Area, Seamus’s work maintaining and caring for sites across the Geopark has always been carried out with care, kindness and genuine pride. Seamus’s quiet dedication helped shape the experience of so many who come to enjoy these beautiful places.

It’s the small acts, the attention to detail, and the friendly presence that will be most remembered.

Thank you for everything Seamus. Wishing you health, happiness and many new adventures ahead.
