Archived item. This item is published here for historical reasons. The information below may be out of date.

On Wednesday 21 November in the Council Chamber, County Hall, Tallaght, Mayor of South Dublin County Council Cllr Mark Ward will announce the winners of the Social Inclusion Art/Writing Competition and will present the prizes on the day.

This competition provided the children with the opportunity to develop their learning experiences by showing their creativity through language and art. The children were asked to draw a picture of something that you would like to do with your family and friends or write a short story or poem on something that you would like to do with your family and friends. With over 250 entries received, it was a great success. In an age of technology it is wonderful that they get to use their artistic skills whenever possible.

Here in South Dublin County we want to develop an inclusive county where every child has the opportunity to participate and reach their true potential.

For further information please contact Adrienne Moloney, Social Inclusion Officer, Community Services Department, South Dublin County Council, Tallaght, Dublin 24.
