Kanturk Tidy Towns Unveil Memorial

L-R: Ursula Noonan, John O’Neill, Betty Twomey, Siobhan O’Neill, Michael Twohig, Greg Muzyk, Mary Courtney, Mary Corbett, and Eddie Walsh.

Kanturk Tidy Towns this past week unveiled a plaque and memorial biodiversity garden to those who lost their lives to Covid 19. Those locally who lost their lives cannot be forgotten, and those in the Tidy Towns felt it was a fitting tribute to those families who lost family members and had to endure awful times with restricted numbers at funerals. It was a way of thinking of them and their families. Thanks was extended to Michael Twohig and Twohig’s Super Valu for their very generous sponsorship, as well as to Cork Council Council, Ducon Concrete, John Field, John Noonan of Juno Landscaping, and Justin Holland for all the help they gave us to ensure this project turned out as beautiful as it did.
