A special word of thanks to the Nolan brothers, Benny and Frankie, for their very generous sponsorship on the day and also thanks to Mick Naughton for his sponsorship of the bus for the day.

ROAD SAFETY: Now that the evenings get darker earlier, after the clocks going back an hour, it is important for walkers and cyclists to make themselves visible to other road users at all times. Walkers are urged to wear high visibility coats or jackets and carry a torch. Cyclists should make sure their front and rear lights are in working order, and also wear high visibility clothing. Equally, drivers should be on their guard for cyclists and walkers.
TUS: A community work placement scheme providing short-term working opportunities for unemployed people is now available, and there is a possibility that the scheme could be available in Patrickswell, if sufficient interest from community groups is forthcoming. It maybe possible for two or three groups to come together to provide enough work for the scheme to go ahead. More information is available from Mike McSweeney, chairperson of the community council.
