Villagers vow to replace 10 stolen hanging baskets

The owner of one of the country’s top garden centres vowed last night to replace the 10 beautiful hanging baskets which were stolen from an historic bridge in Cork.

Margaret Griffin of Griffin’s Garden Centre in Dripsey spoke out last night after the bizarre theft before midnight on Wednesday.

“It’s our village and we’re not going to let anybody turn this into a ghost town,” said Ms Griffin.
