In 2000 a number of concerned locals got together and formed a committee set up to renovate Rathangan Hall, which at the time was in a state of disrepair.
This voluntary committee put an enormous amount of work into securing grant aid from various bodies to refurbish and rejuvenate the hall turning it into the valuable community asset that it is today. Rathangan Hall is situated adjacent to St. Anne’s GAA pitch, 100 yards up from the local national school and church.
