Volunteers doing a great job A big well done to all local volunteers from the Monasterboice Tourism and Tidy Towns Group for their ongoing, fantastic, work around the parish.
You might have seen the fabulous planting at the Bus Stops beside the Monasterboice Inn and the beautiful flower bed, at the end of slip road towards Dunleer.
An extra effort is required from everyone in the Parish to have the place looking well for the Judges for the Tidy Towns Competition and the Louth Looking Good awards.
Well done to everyone and keep up the good work.
