There is a bonus to this annual requirement however, as everyone gets an extra hour in bed on Sunday morning.
TIDY TOWNS: The Limerick in Bloom Awards were announced last Thursday, when Patrickswell was awarded second place in the category for populations over seven hundred.

We would like to congratulate heartily Kilteely Tidy Towns for winning the overall award. Many thanks to Jimmy Mulqueen, Liam Foley and Mike Moore who assisted in clearing the grow bags and their contents from the wall at the roundabout last weekend. Our table quiz will go ahead this Friday night at 9pm in the Cu Chulainn, and we look forward to it being well supported again.
