There has been unwelcome news this week that Boyle has been omitted from the 2015 CIE Tours itinerary.
Boyle Abbey had been included as a stop over on day 4 of the Irish Tradition 12 day tour which operated from Monday 07 April to Monday 27 October.
This stop over, and indeed this area, has been omitted from the 2015 tour.
In addition, the Scots-Irish tour (11 day Scotland & Ireland tour) and the Scots-Irish and more (14 or 15 day Scotland & Ireland tour) both of which overnighted in Kilronan Castle are also omitted.
The only tour incorporating a Co. Roscommon attraction is the Leisurely Ireland 10 day Tour which visits Strokestown Park House And Museum on day 3 en route from Dublin to Westport this tour runs from Saturday April 04 until October 31.
