COMMUNITY ALERT
The ‘Tip of the Week’- is on Heating Oil and Diesel Theft. The noticeable increase in theft of home heating oil and diesel should be of concern, most tanks are generally unprotected and unobserved and very easily accessed which leads to stolen oil supplies. It is preferable that the tank be in an area which may be observed by the household or by a neighbour. It may be screened by fencing, trellis or hedging. Consider installing a motion sensor or light sensor in the area. Ensure you have a lock on the tank.

There is Bingo every Monday in Terryglass Community Hall at 8.30pm sharp organised by the Shannon Rovers GAA Club with great money prizes, including an excellent Jackpot of €1,000.

There is a flyer for €150 each week and the full house if the jackpot isn’t won is €100.
