Last week we were glad to report that each of our three primary schools in the parish had qualified to fly “the green flag”. We noted that it was a unique achievement for parishes and it was hoped that all adults would take a lead from the children of the area re clean and green.

Some time ago, FAS locally took part in a County wide drive to clean up the approach roads to all villages in the County. Again we hoped that having been given a start the householders of the area, would adopt a policy of keeping outside of their own premises clean and tidy with no rubbish.

There seemed to be some success but alas only some. Last week, there was some cutting of roadsides in the village and it was noted that approach roads to the village and streets were becoming once again homes to litter. While some were involving themselves in the keeping clean campaign, others have been letting the side down. It may not be you that is dropping litter on the roadside outside your patch but it like Frankie Byrne of long ago, be your problem some day. Help the community at large keep your own patch tidy.

If everyone did a little in this regard, there would be little to do. The used clothes bin in aid of the I.S.P.C.C has now been transferred to outside the tennis court inside the village limits. Please use it. On Sunday at the big game in Monroe, I noticed a young lad (not from this parish) being very insistent that someone should have a pocket for his empty crisp bag. He was only about three years old. Well done young man and well done to his parents as well. Do keep our parish neat and clean and it will reflect well on all of us.
