Hollyfort was awarded 1st prize in the Keep Wexford Beautiful Competition 2023 in category North Wexford 2K Clean.  Persistence was  the key as litter was cleared from roads, hedges and ditches on a regular basis.

And to everyone else, thanks for your support in helping to keep Hollyfort a litter-free zone!

Old School New Kitchen

 

We have made many improvements to the Old School Community Centre in recent years, including upgraded toilets and new windows, but a recent updating of the old kitchen is something else!

Thanks to a grant from Pobal CCIF, we have installed a state-of-the-art kitchen.

The facility was welcomed by existing groups Hollyfort Book Club and Hollyfort Writers, and we hope new groups will take advantage of the centre.
