Shiny happy people set to paint the town red

A community paint party this weekend aims to deliver a new lease of life to a West Cork town.

Derelict buildings on Bridge St in Skibbereen will benefit from a lick of paint in a bid to boost business as part of a voluntary scheme with a fun twist.

Tomorrow’s Shiny Happy Skibbereen street party will bring a colourful overhaul to promote a positive image for the street as the tourist season kicks into gear.
