In March, Members of An Garda Síochána held a clinic in the Mosney Village Food Hall. These events take place frequently where residents can avail of advice, or if they need documents stamped and to learn about crime prevention, problem solving and community engagement. It is important that residents get to know members of the Community Garda Service and what they do. These clinics can help to improve the interaction and communication between all sections of the community and An Garda Síochána.

The Teachers and children from the Mabuhay Pre-school had the best time performing in their St. Patricks Day parade. They entertained the whole Village with their singing, dancing and merry-making! Sometimes it’s the smallest thing that makes you smile, and this little line of scooters parked outside the Pre-school is too cute!
