Recent Visitors

We were delighted to welcome 4th class children from Presentation Primary School Tralee with their teacher Gary Coughlan. We gave them a talk and they took some class notes for their trip. They had lunch on the plaza as it was a lovely sunny day and expended some further energy at the adjacent playground in the park before returning home later in the afternoon.

Recent visitors were Ross, Alison and Ralph Young from Canada.
