West cork gardaí seek to honour young people for outstanding voluntary community work

Gardaí in West Cork are seeking to honour young people who have done outstanding voluntary work in their communities.

The longest-running event of its type in the country, the Cork West Garda Division Youth Achievement Awards was started in 1995 by Garda James O'Mahony, a Bandon-based juvenile liaison officer, and it has been copied by a number of other garda divisions.
