Website for Passage West/Monkstown
My proposal for a website for Passage West and Monkstown which received unanimous support from Passage West Town Council is now coming to fruition. An acceptable tender for design of the site has been received. To be accessed at “www.passagewestmonkstown.ie”, this will be an attractive, active site, updated regularly with community and Town Council news, giving information on the rich history of Passage West and Monkstown, facilities and services available locally and the activities of sport and community groups.

The Carrigaline Area Office of Cork County Council kindly organised the design of the plinth and were more than co-operative in assisting with the electrical connections and the dressing of the tree.
