‘Give a shirt’

A campaign aiming to collect 50,000 items of clothing to prove that Waterford “gives a shirt” about its threatened city status is gaining pace.

Campaigners have organised the movement in a bid to ensure Waterford’s city status is not diluted by a merging of its city and county councils.

They hope the public will donate 50,000 shirts to their cause, representing every man, woman, and child in the city. They then plan to deliver the message to Leinster House.
