BEAUTIFUL SOUTH DUBLIN SCHOOLS COMPETITION AWARDS

PRESS RELEASE 23^RD MAY, 2007

Mayor Eamon Moloney will present the awards in the schools environmental competition on Wednesday 23^rd May in the County Hall, Tallaght. The competition is sponsored by South Dublin County Council and encourages students in primary and secondary schools to examine issues regarding the environment. The topics this year were:-

Reduce, Reuse & Recycle

Your environment now and how to make it better

Artwork made from recycled materials

Multimedia presentation on environmental issues in local communities.

The entries range from models of animals, posters, projects, cd roms and even a patchwork quilt, all made from a wide range of recycled material and supporting the Reduce, Reuse & Recycle principle.

This competition, sponsored by South Dublin County Council, supports the Green Schools programme. One of the best parts of my job is when I get to visit schools, to help raise their Green Flags. 35 schools in the County have the Green Flag and as Mayor I would like to see a green forest of flags in South Dublin says Mayor Eamon Moloney.
