Solas get KTK lift

A cheque for 5,000 euros was recently presented by KTK Landfill Limited to the Kilcullen Lions Club, to be used for the Solas Youth Cafe project.

The cafe, which it is hoped to open soon, is to be located in the Kilcullen Tennis Club building. The building has been renovated with the support of the Lions for the project.

The cheque was handed over to Sean Dillion by Neil Menzies of KTK.
