Return of the Christmas tree?

A number of businesses in the Market Square area are to be approached to see if they would collectively sponsor a Christmas Tree for the town.

The recent meeting of Kilcullen Community Action discussed the idea, with a view to a tree being planted for the Christmas season in the central flower bed in the square.

It was recalled that the last town Christmas Tree had been presented by local singing duo Phil and Una McGrath, who had won it on the Joe Duffy Show. The tree had been set up outside the then Town Hall Cinema, on the grounds now occupied by the Heritage Centre where the KCA currently holds its bi-weekly meetings.
