‘Awarding €20,000 in 2020 is a fitting finale to what was a hard-fought campaign in 2019,’ said Brendan McCarthy ‘It is also a way of acknowledging and rewarding the community for their support in a year that has got to be the most trying on record.’ southernstar.ie/news/sos-war-c…

Fitting finale indeed. Fantastic community spirit and positive outcome thanks to Save Our Skibbereen

On the latest edition of our #Coronavirus podcast, news editor Siobhán Cronin🇺🇦 chats to Save Our Skibbereen campaigner Brendan McCarthy about the plastics factory that never was. ⬇️⬇️⬇️ southernstar.ie/news/podcast-s…

PODCAST: Just over a year ago the Save Our Skibbereen campaign won their battle to stop a plastics factory being built in Skibb. Last week I spoke to SOS chair Brendan McCarthy about that victory, being a school principal in a time of Covid, and running a festival during a pandemic.

Sad day for Skibbereen. So many memories for so many people. Well done to all the fire brigades for bringing it under control. 2020 is something else.
