Between Towns And Villages spotlight falls on Callan-Thomastown (Part One)

By Dermot Keyes · KCLR · 27 August 2026

Between Towns And Villages was broadcast live from Malzard’s Bar in Stoneyford as we focused on the Callan-Thomastown Municipal District.

In the first hour of the show, Brian Redmond spoke to Fred Malzard about the realities of running a fifth generation family business in the heart of the village and then spoke to Claire Somers of Visit Callan about her native town’s business landscape and her hopes for better times ahead.

Brian also spoke to Deputy Peter ‘Chap’ Cleere (FF) about a range of issues, including the funding of the Skylcarys drug for Friedrich’s Ataxia patients and was joined by Mags Morrissey of the River Basin Management Service for a discussion about the health of the district’s principal waterways.

To conclude the opening hour, Brian was joined by Windgap’s Julie O’Brien, Marianne Hayes and Kate Moloney to speak about the village’s remarkable resurgence since the opening of its Community Centre, Lakeside Shop and Tearooms.
