Tánaiste Micheál Martin last Friday paid a warm tribute to the staff and volunteers at the Ard Chúram Day Care Centre as well as the wider Listowel community as he cut the ribbon to officially open the new Ard Chúram Fuchsia Day Care Centre for Dementia.
LISTOWEL’S Ard Chúram availed of the opportunity of National Volunteer Week to welcome their many volunteers from over the years to their Day Care Centres and to acknowledge the huge contributions they have made and are making to the lives of many in North Kerry.
Over 50 nominations were received by Radio Kerry for the awards.
The winners will be presented with a specially created handcrafted vase sponsored by Louis Mulcahy Pottery in Ballyferriter.
