Notes to the Papers - 10 September 2010

Playground congratulations


After a long hot summer of use, it is marvellous to see the town playground in Shanbally looking so well. Since its restoration with newly painted equipment and floor-mats, it is great to see the way in which the playground has been looked after by all who use it. Hopefully, as autumn approaches, additional lighting will help ensure that it remains a magnet for children having fun in a safe environment. Thanks also to the County Council and local GardaĆ­ for their support of this project since the Spring.

Heritage Exhibition at Library

By special permission form the County Library Service, the ‘Cappoquin and the United Nations’ exhibition at the library will continue upstairs for a few weeks more. It has been great to se the interest the exhibition has aroused and indeed the amount of new photographs and information which continues to arrive. We have now found thirty five local people who have served in UN peacekeeping work abroad, and there may well be more. The exhibition is open during library opening hours on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and all day Saturday until further notice.
