Whole lotta interest in allotments

Contracts will be going out for allotments next week to those who had paid for their allotment last year.

So area manager Mick McCormack informed councillors at the monthly meeting of New Ross Municipal District in The Tholsel on Wednesday.

‘ There are a small number of vacant allotments but it is expected that they will be in demand as during lockdown, the allotments are still open for tending and are a great outlet for those who might otherwise be housebound.’

Glenmore’s Claire Sinnott has found inspiration in writing a book of poems and stories to lift the spirits during these difficult times.

Claire’s debut publication, ‘Miracle by Instalments’, has been described as the ideal coffee table book which readers can dip in and out of whenever the mood takes them.

The former St Mary’s secondary school student went on to do business studies in WIT before working in office jobs, but found herself turning to writing more and more.

‘Miracle by Instalments’ is available to buy online at the Book Centre, Kilkenny, Khans Bookshop, Kilkenny and Bargain Books, Kilkenny.

Signed copies are available by contacting Claire on Instagram or through Facebook.

She also offers free delivery in the locality, with ‘ Miracle by Instalments’ wrapped and signed.

Call Claire on 087 1306360 and she is available by email at clairesinnott.cs@gmail.com.

‘Miracle by Instalments’ is also available in Ardkeen Stores, Waterford and in the Arboretum garden and cafe centre in Carlow, the Book Centre, Waterford, Book Centre Wexford and Selskar Bookshop, Wexford.
