Toy tower raised in lifeboat fundraiser

A TOY tower was constructed from 11,000 toy bricks in the shadow of the country’s tallest building in Cork yesterday.

Hundreds of children helped with stacking the plastic bricks to create a model of the Elysian Tower in the garden of the multi-storey apartment building which is next to City Hall in the city centre.

The challenge was organised in aid of the Courtmacsherry lifeboat and took place between 11am and 6pm. The architects who designed the Elysian were on hand to assist the children.
