A word of thanks to the parents, leaders and especially the cubs (as well as honourary cubs for a day) who particpated in the tree planting around Athenry this morning. The conditions were difficult but everyone stuck to the task and the 19th Galway completed it’s task of planting >300 trees in a very swift fashion. The Tidy Towns Group were most appreciative. Some of the children were interviewed by Frances Shanahan (RTE’s Drive Time show) which may air on monday evening between 6-7pm, so listen out for that.

Photographs are available.
