KILFLYNN COMMUNITY TOGETHER
Kilflynn Community Together are currently undertaking a clean-up of our village with the power washing and painting of the footpaths, bridge, empty Units and car park with the support of The Kilflynn Enchanted Fairy Festival, Herberts Village Shop and Bar and Parker’s Bar and Music Venue.
We were delighted to get the power washing started Saturday with the generous donation we received from Mike Parker of €600 from the Ken Doherty Pool exhibition held in Parker’s on the 23rd of August-this donation was very greatly appreciated and will cover a significant amount of the overall cost.
Kilflynn Community Together hope to organize a volunteer day’s painting in the next few weeks when all help will be greatly appreciated – further updates to follow on our FB page.
