Last Monday evening our Annual Spring Clean took place. National Spring Clean is run in conjunction with An Taisce. Volunteers from many areas turned out to ensure a clean local environment. Many thanks to all who participated and helped to improve the appearance of our locality. Overall it was a very successful and enjoyable event giving everyone involved a great sense of ‘Pride in their Place’.

National Spring Clean is Ireland’s most popular, well recognised and successful anti-litter initiative. Now in its 13th year, the campaign encourages every sector of society to actively participate and take responsibility for litter, by actually conducting clean-ups in their own local environment. National Spring Clean traditionally takes place throughout the month of April. National Spring Clean has been operated by An Taisce since 1999 in partnership with the Department of Environment, Heritage & Local Government and Local Authorities and is sponsored by Coca-Cola Bottlers Ireland, the Wrigley Company Ltd. and, more recently, Repak. The size and scale of National Spring Clean has grown steadily and significantly over the years.

The Clodagh Macra Ballad group – Teresa Kennedy, Maria Ryan, AnneMarie Kavanagh, Grace Prior and Laura Ryan (missing is Karen Ryan)

It has been a busy few weeks for Clodagh Macra. Last Saturday night, saw the National Debating Semi-finals held in the community centre. The teams travelled from Dublin, Meath, Cork and Limerick and two exciting and heated debates were had. Athboy carried the motion that "Carbon Tax should be Abolised" and Mitchelstown carried the motion that "Driving Instruction should be a Curriculum subject". They now go forward to the final in Cavan in three weeks.
 
The crowd then moved on to Kilkenny where members enjoyed the festivities of Mr. Personality.
We would also like to thank all who supported our table quiz in the Clodagh Bar on April 1st. We had a great turnout of 20 tables and raised E620 for the club.
The next big event for the club is the final of the National Talent Competition. The Clodagh ballad group made it through the semi finals in Cashel and will now compete with 3 other clubs in the National Concert Hall in Dublin on Sunday May 1st. Tickets can be booked through the club. We wish the girls the best of luck.
