Minister gets a taste of Kilcullen

Kilcullen's food interests were well served this evening when the Minister for Children & Youth Affairs, Frances Fitzgerald TD, was presented with a hamper of foods produced in the town, writes Brian Byrne.

The presentation took place at the end of the Minister's visit to Naomh Bhride Kilcullen Community Playgroup to inspect the site and plans for the Kilcullen Child Care & Family Resource Centre.

Complimenting the project promoters, the Minister said she was now well 'in tune' with the plans. She also quipped that the presentation 'would feed her whole department'.

The Minister is pictured above receiving the presentation from Eilis Keogh of Naomh Bhride Playgroup, with Cllr Ivan Keatley and Martin Heydon TD.

We'll give a full report tomorrow.
