Tá pléadh doimhin ar siubhal faoi i láthair nma huaire agus mar thosach, táimíd ag súil len’ é úsáid mar ‘token’ chun lascainne speisialta ar earraí a eagrú i siopaí agus gnóthluchtaí áitiuil. Beidh sé mar cuimhne ar Feile na Laoch 2011 agus arís i 2018 nó gach seacht mbliana. Beidh sé mar foinse agaon chun airigead a bhailiú leis don ciste.

Robert Ballagh has been put in charge of designing a new currency, a Féile na Laoch project, that will take the name of “An Laoch”. An Laoch will be introduced at the second weekend of Féile na Laoch 2011. (30/9/2011 – 2/10/2011)
Robert Ballagh is a famous international artist and is responsible for designing the last currency we had in Ireland before the Euro was introduced.
An Laoch will consist of 100 ‘Liudramán’. We are hoping to use this currency as a ‘token’ to get a reduced price on certain goods and in certain local businesses. It will serve as a memory of Féile na Laoch 2011 and again in 2018 or every seven years. It will also be a means for the committee to collect money for the coming festivals in years to come. But in the rare case that money/currency as we know it would somehow fail in this economy, we would have a money system on the shelf in west Muskerry.
