Untitled[edit]

The sister parish of Collinstown, St. Fechin's of the village of Fore,[1] which also has a historic interest, an ancient monastery, a European centre of learning during the middle ages. The Fore village, next to the Benedictine Abbey ruin, is situated in the north of Westmeath, the lake-county of Ireland north of Lough Lene. Lough Lene where freshwater brown trout, crayfish (white-clawed, Austropotamobius pallipes, Lereboullet), perch, and other fish may be caught. Lough Lene is also known as the first inland lake to obtain a Blue flag [2] for its pollution-free water-associated resources. This blue flag has been allocated with regularity to Lough Lene because of the Lough Lene agricultural communities commitment to preserving this water resource and habitat, for fish and wild-life. Vandals have deteriorated the site and have regretfully, failed to obtain the treasured Blue flag in 2006. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sarah777 (talk • contribs) 00:16, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
