The Mayor of County Cork, Councillor Frank O'Flynn is urging people to show their support for the town of Midleton after the recent devastating floods.
Christmas preparations are well and truly underway in all towns and villages across the county.
Cork County Council will make special car parking arrangements available in its own operated car parks throughout the month of December.
Mayor of the County of Cork, Cllr Frank O’Flynn said, “The Midleton Christmas Lights Committee have put huge work into making sure the turning on ceremony is bigger and brighter than ever. We have witnessed incredible community spirit in the town of Midleton and surrounding areas in recent weeks. Everyone came together to support the homes and businesses damaged by the worst flooding in decades. These businesses are now reopening, are about to enter what is traditionally the busiest time of the year for them and it is so important that we all continue to shop local and support them. Sunday’s event will reflect this spirit and more and I am asking people from near and far to visit Midleton and to pick up some unique Christmas gifts.”
