Kinsale members join scrap metal initiative in aid of community centre

THE scrap iron price boom has caught the attention of fundraisers, and Kinsale Macra na Feirme are the latest to launch a metal collection drive.

They are doing it as a joint community fundraising initiative in conjunction with the town’s Sáile Sports and Community Centre and collection will take place over two days next week, Friday and Saturday, January 20 and 21.

Collectors are interested in all unwanted scrap metal — from old tractors to saucepans, the list is endless.
