Blanchardstown: Bonus for Volunteers!

Share


Volunteers who work at the Vincent De Paul shop in Blanchardstown got a pleasant surprise last week when members of the local Traveller Community Employment scheme presented them with a variety of organic vegetables.
The vegetables were grown on the Travellers Allotment.

The CE scheme is sponsored by the local CDP, the Blanchardstown Traveller Development Group.
