Christmas tree for town

Jim Collins is to sponsor a Christmas tree for Kilcullen, which will be located in the market square.

This was revealed at the recent meeting of Kilcullen Community Action, where those present heard the cost will come out of donations made at Jim's recent 70th birthday party. Instead of presents, Jim said that he'd accept contributions towards the upkeep of The Valley Park and similar community work.

The last time there was a town Christmas Tree was before the Heritage Centre was built. It was won on Joe Duffy's 'Liveline' by Phil and Una McGrath, and presented to the town. It was set up beside the Town Hall Theatre, where the Heritage Centre is now located.
