Floating Christmas Tree on Mayo lake 'a signal of light in darkness' of Covid

Karen Rowland had the brilliant idea of a floating Christmas tree on Lough Lannagh.

The idea became a reality with the help of many including Castlebar Tidy Towns, Robbie Carson, Stanley Jackson and Jarlath McHale.

The tree lights were switched on by the inspirational Charlie Gannon and launched as ‘a light in the darkness of COVID-19 and a signal of brighter times ahead’.
