Kinsale raises a salute in honour of local heroes

A harbour town has launched an awards scheme to honour its unsung local heroes.

People living in and around Kinsale in Cork have now been invited to submit nominees for the inaugural Kinsale and District Community Awards which will be announced at a ceremony in Actons Hotel on April 11 next.

The awards will acknowledge the efforts of people or groups whose voluntary efforts make the area a better place.
