As current chairperson of Ballintotis Area Community Council, I would like to extend to you a warm welcome as you visit and explore our web site.

We sincerely hope you will find it interesting and informative as we have a rich history here and we invite you to discover this for yourself.

If you are living in the area or currently living abroad, we invite you to make contact by email, or submit your photographs for our page.

In Ballintotis we are proud to have a very active community who are dedicated to maintaining the natural beauty of the area for everyone living here and for all those that visit. Thank you for visiting our website.

The Council is made up of members elected from seven districts. In October 2006, following completion of the first Council’s third year in office, fresh elections were held to elect a new Council (as per the rules of the Constitution). Previously, there were two representatives from each of the seven districts but the outgoing council, aware of the increased level of activity on hands, amended the rules to allow for three representatives from each area to be elected.

The Council also has the power to co-opt five extra people, who it is felt, would be of assistance to the Council in the pursuit of its objectives.

The new Council has some very exciting plans and projects in mind for the benefit of the total area of Ballintotis and, perhaps chief among these, is the provision of our own Community Centre Building adjacent to our beautifully sited Church and in close proximity to our renowned Primary School.

The road ahead will provide many challenges and difficulties but with a dedicated and talented Council, backed up by a supportive and enthusiastic community, all obstacles can be overcome. Through the medium of this, our new website, and regular newsletter, the community will be kept well informed of progress and events as they occur.
