Tralee scents a Tidy success

TRALEE, famous for its roses, will be all in bloom next week, as a major drive gets under way to win a Tidy Towns award.

Up to 10,000 plants and flowers will be arranged in front of the Pikeman Memorial, in Denny Street, creating a spectacular display that will last until October.

Thirty volunteers, assisted by staff from Tralee Town Council, FÁS and Breannan Services, will start work under the landmark Pikeman, at 6.30pm, on Monday, and the task should be completed well before Tralee wakes up on Tuesday morning.
