HELP, Please. Does anyone have advice on how to W**D a stone wall? We see some very nice flowers growing in Baltinglass Abbey, but maybe they should not be there. We know about using a hoe for weeds at ground level, but higher up, should we just let these flowers die naturally?

SOME FIRE SAFETY ADVICE FROM DUBLIN FIRE BRIGADE

Fire Safety Tips for Disposable Barbecues

When using disposable barbecues, you should also keep the following advice in mind:

Place your disposable barbecue on a level, non-flammable surface. Never place it on decking, wooden garden furniture, plastic furniture, glass or grass.

It is hard on our VOLUNTEERS to see their work treated like this. It could be worse and we salute the workers in Baltinglass Abbey who deal with BIO Hazards. Don't get us started on temporary public toilets for Summer.

Hey VOLUNTEERS, we would love to let you try a new RAIN ROBOT but, right now, there is NO RAIN ROBOT, just volunteers carrying the can, using the taps and resources in town.
In this weather, WATERING is a HUGE task and we need help. Come and see how watering works and give us a hand at 6.30.

Hi everyone. The Ras Tailteann went very well today and was a fantastic event to attract people into our town, especially on such a sunny day! Go raibh maith agaibh Gerorda, Liam, Lisa, Sarah, and John, who ensured that people knew where to park safely... Gerorda, you're a natural at traffic control! Thanks also to our SuperValu, which sponsored the 10 bouquets for the winners.
