To add transparency to the "volunteers targeted with letters" narrative, a TIMELINE of statements, coverage, events and implications is shown below, including the publication of the 2 LETTERS sent to Clonmany Enterprise Development By Guarantee's Directors/Trustees.
These letters were not sent to volunteers. These two informative, non-threatening letters with an offer of help were sent directly to the charity's Directors and Trustees to address issues and concerns regarding their statutory obligations and fiduciary duties.
There has been an ongoing lack of engagement, with no response private or public from the charity, Clonmany Enterprise Development Ltd By Guarantee (CEDLtd) to the "volunteers targeted with letters" narrative. CEDLtd initially creating this narrative, bringing letters to the public’s attention, declaring the letters were sent to volunteers. Media reports of “targeted”, “stressful” & “intimidating”.
The ‘ClonmanyResidents’ Facebook request to CEDLtd and its outgoing Clonmany Festival Committee to be fully transparent and publish the "targeted" "letters" has not been actioned. There has been no response to clarify if they consider 'ClonmanyResidents' to be part of the "elements or organisations" "opposing the festival", as referenced on radio. Multiple CEDLtd Directors and Trustees follow the ‘ClonmanyResidents’ Facebook page.
The Clonmany Festival Committee is tasked with running the festival for CEDLtd. All CEDLtd’s Directors and Trustees were members of the outgoing Clonmany Festival Committee. Not all CEDLtd Directors and Trustees stepped away from the outgoing Clonmany Festival Committee. No Directors and Trustees have stepped away from the charity, CEDLtd.
There has been an absence of Fairness, Objectivity, Impartiality and Accuracy in some of the media reporting. The narrative and media coverage at a local and national level includes online, in print, on radio and social media. The publication of this timeline and the two letters aim to provide clarity, transparency and address the growing narrative and remove speculation.
By not addressing these raised issues and concerns, CEDLtd and its outgoing Clonmany Festival Committee members places further strain upon individuals' personal safety and wellbeing in the run up to and during the upcoming 2026 Clonmany Festival. This includes the impact on an elderly resident.
