require 75% less energy than traditional bulbs. To add to the festive spirit we kindly ask households and
businesses in the town to decorate their premises.
We would like to thank all who provide power for our Christmas display, those who volunteer their time,
premises and equipment and those who contribute financially.
Special thanks to Cork County Council for
their continued support.
This weekend November 16/17 we shall be having our annual Church gate collection and we would
appreciate your kind support.
