Members of Gowna Water Safety made the presentation to John O’Reilly, Toome

We wish to offer our congratulations to John O’Reilly, Toome, who received a presentation last week from members of Gowna Water Safety for his hard work in organising swimming lessons in Lough Gowna for the last forty years. 

A countless number of children from Mullinalaghta and surrounding parishes have learned the invaluable skill of swimming because of John's hard work and dedication every single year and who have wonderful memories of their summers at Fitzpatrick’s Shore, and we wish John many more years to come in his vital role.
