Article on the abbey, not the village

[edit]

I think we need to decide whether this article is supposed to be about the village or the ruined monastic settlement. The current state of affairs - huge lede on the monastery, article body on football clubs - is just sad and confusing. Based on the article cats, this was originally intended to focus on the ruins. For the village I think Wikipedia:Notability first needs to be established. I will thus remove the unsourced and mostly unencyclopedic "Religion", "Bars and restaurants" and "Education" sections and move the "town twinning" and "football" stuff to the talk page. I will also remove any links to WP:SPS & look for some RS. Some of the info is from this sign by Bord Failte
