Cork's Dayna is named youth volunteer of the year

Two Cork teenagers yesterday celebrated their work and friendship which earned one a gold medal as being among the country’s top young volunteers.

With a smile bright enough to be seen from Donegal, where Dayna Ní Shíocháin got her prize this week, Kayleigh Twomey welcomed her friend and helper back to school yesterday morning.

“I love Dayna. She is very good and helpful,” said Kayleigh, using the letter chart on her desk at Gaelcholáiste Mhuire at the North Monastery on Cork’s northside.
