Article on the abbey, not the village
editI 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
