It was opened by the President of Ireland. Mrs. Mary McAleese. The only part of the old creamery left is the chimney staff. There are at present 20 houses in this area. The houses consist of two bedrooms, kitchen, dining/sitting room and bathroom. There is a small shed out the back of the houses for storing coal or other items belonging to each individual. This housing system is unique as it is ecologically friendly. More houses went up a couple of years ago and to separate the dwellings there is a marble chair. This sculpture is of a high chair or Kings chair. It is made of green marble. On top of the chair is the head and antlers of a red deer this is in honour of the giant elk that was found in Rathcannon at the turn of the 20th Century. The Dromin/Athlacca community launched their defibrillator project on the 25th of August at the Church in Athlacca. This is a unique project in the southern region and its launch was testament to the commitment the community have shown to this issue. The project developed from money raised at the annual 'Community Cross Country Ride in 2004' & from a corresponding concern about the issue of heart related emergencies in the region. Following the recruitment of a project co-coordinator, 18 volunteers were recruited to operate the defibrillators and two defibrillator machines are now in place at fixed sites. One of the defibrillators is on the wall to the left of Dromin Church and the second is on the wall on the right of the Church in Athlacca.".
