skerries holiday park?

[rachelralph]

still trying to find my richard denigan and family.
my nan today told me that the denigan family owned a holiday park called skerries. i know the family were from longford so i am posting here in the hope someone knows. all i find when i google this is skerries northern ireland. it is a very strong possiblity that my nan has got confused and the denigans used to holiday in skerries, but i have to ask just to be sure. i am hoping that this is a holday park in the longford area or indeed anywhere in ireland, and that if it is i can then trace the family that way.

There's a town named Skerries on the coast of North Co. Dublin

see : Skerries, Co. Dublin

It was a holiday destination for Dublin people.

thanks for that, i have a funny feeling that this is where the denigan family holidayed rather than what my nan thinks and they owned a holiday place called skeries

[rachelralph]

since posting this i have found that my nan got confused and her step dad, not her mum's side of the family came from skerries or near there.

she still claims that they owned a holiday park there though, so im wondering if anyone knows of a holiday park in skerrie that was owned or ran by the CARR family in the 1940's and 1950's?

Red Island was a holiday camp in Skerries which operated into late 70's early 80's.

Not sure but I believe Fergal Quinn's (ex Superquinn ) Dad set it up.
