Sod turned at site of new Aughagower playground

THE Minister for Rural and Community Development, Michael Ring, has today turned the sod for a new children's playground in Aughagower.

His department allocated €75,000 towards the facility last June via the Leader Funding programme.

He said the facility, when completed, will be widely used by young families in the community.

Minister Ring praised the local committee for their work in driving the project forward.

The ceremony was attended by local elected representatives.
