Also, the McSweeney family wish to say thank you to kind neighbour Sheila O’Sullivan, who assumed the role of chief cook and bottlewasher at the event. Well done, all.

TIDY TOWNS

Once again thanks and congratulations have to be extended to the local Tidy Towns Committee under the chairmanship of Michael Cronin on the way they have made the village and surrounds so colourful and attractive. This group have over the years been doing tremendous work with little gratitude. However, they have battled on regardless and deserve to be complimented on their work.
