Garda honours for our youth

- By DAVID TUCKER

FOLLOWING on from the highly-successful inaugural County Wexford Garda Youth Awards in 2017, Wexford Gardai and Wexford County Council have launched the second County Wexford Garda Youth Awards aimed at honouring young people who are a credit to their communitie­s.

The awards are aimed at young people between the ages of 11 and 21, from throughout the county, who will be recognised for their positive work and contributi­ons.

Do you know a young person that has contribute­d to their community, or excelled in sports, or overcome a serious illness or personal difficulty or do you know a young person that gives their own time to help others or makes their community or school a better place?

if so, lets give these young people the recognitio­n they deserve.

Group entries of two or more young person’s will also be considered.

Applicatio­n forms for nomination­s are available for downloadin­g on the Garda Website www.garda.ie or www.wexfordcoc­o.ie and from any Garda Station in County Wexford.

Also by sending an e-mail to john.j.cleary@garda.ie or neil.b.murphy@garda.ie or kevin.t.burke@garda.ie or contact Garda Paul Buckley, Gorey Garda Station at 053-9430690 who will send a copy to you by post. Details of the scheme and rules are outlined on the applicatio­n form.

Closing date for receipt of nomination­s is January 31, 2018.

The lucky award winners will be presented with their awards at a ceremony at Wexford County Council Buildings, Carricklaw­n, Wexford in March, 2018.
