Clones Town Team

In 2017, the Ballybay Clones Municipal District invited key community, voluntary, private sector and statutory organisations with a vested interest in Clones Town to nominate members to sit on a new structure which was being developed for Clones – the Clones Town Team.
Welcome to Clones
Clones or 'Cluain Eois' – the meadow of Eois, is one of the oldest continuous settlements in County Monaghan. It developed around a monastery founded by St. Tiarnach in the 6th century and the town boasts a rich historic fabric which illustrates the town's evolution. St Tiarnach's tomb is marked by a unique stone sarcophagus dating from the early 13th century and is located close to the Round Tower. The Round Tower dates from the 10th Century. The ancient High Cross that stands on the Diamond belonged to his monastery. The abbey built by Tiarnach was attacked by both Vikings and Normans and after one terrible assault in the 12th century it, and the town, were destroyed. From the ashes a new St. Peter and Paul's Abbey was built, known to locals as 'The Wee Abbey'. The Normans, devout Christians themselves, fought a running war with the Irish chieftains who had ruled this area. They built a fort at the highest point of the town and it became one of the finest Motte and Bailey type fortifications in the country. Long after the Norman influence faded, a new wave of settlers arrived to create their own legacy.
That is just a taste of the story of Clones. To discover more, come and join us on our Town Trail which takes in key heritage sites and buildings of wider social and cultural interest. More detailed information on each site is available at the site itself.
The Trail follows a 3.5km route around the town and is self-guided, however, there historical commentary videos at most of heritage trail locations that can be used with your Smartphone

Responsive Design
It has become common knowledge that every day the number of mobile devices used to view your site grows. Responsive design gives your site the power to provide an optimal viewing experience across a wide range of devices from a mobile phone to a desktop computer monitor.
So how does it work? With the use of media queries different CSS style rules are loaded depending on characteristics of the device your site is been viewed with, most commonly the width of your browser. With each set of rules your site will be styled to best display on the matching device.
At Joomla51 we have embraced this new trend in website design and implemented responsive design to all our new releases, resolving any problems assoiciated with how your site will display on smaller resolution screens. To view how your template will respond to each screen resolution simply resize your browser window, as you reduce the width of your browser the template will react accordingly, altering its layout and style to best accomodate the site content within the available viewing area.
Alongside its responsive design, the template features a number of options within its parameters allowing you control over what content is displayed on smaller mobile devices. From your Joomla administration navigate to Extensions -> Template Manager -> J51_[YourTemplate] -> Responsive Options, here you will find a number of toggle switches to turn on/off each set of modules. If there is a situation where you would sooner your site to display the same on all devices then not to worry as we have added an option here to do that to (“,).
Module Variations
This template comes with different module styles and icons. For each module you can pick a style and combine it with an icon creating your own unique look.
You can set your module style via the Module Class Suffix field within your modules parameters. Navigate to Extensions -> Module Manager -> [YourModule] -> Advanced Options -> Module Class Suffix.
