I am delighted on behalf of An Garda Síochána to acknowledge the contribution of these young people to their communities, especially vulnerable people living among us. These are young people making a real difference”.

He adds “I want to thank Cathaoirleach Fergal Browne, Carlow Local Authority and Cathaoirleach Michael McCarthy, Kilkenny Local Authority for also supporting these young people and presenting awards on the night. I also want to thank Carlow Local Authority represented by Mr Michael Brennan, Director of Services and Kilkenny Local Authority represented by Mr Tim Butler, Director of Service. Both organisations are strongly represented here tonight also play a key role in the success of this event.”

Superintendent Anthony Farrell praised young award winners and acknowledged their valuable positive contribution to community life.  He said “Volunteerism is a gift. Continue to use this gift and lead others in making a real difference.”  And he acknowledged the support of family, friends, teachers and school principals as a key theme in success of young people..

Supt Farrell also paid tribute to sponsors Netwatch, noting; “Colin Hayes as CEO has always been supportive of the community work of An Garda Síochána, especially celebrating all that is positive. Netwatch success as market leaders in detection and security technology internationally has been in part reinvested into communities especially here in Carlow. That investment is beyond financial where with his team of ten colleagues came along in person to support the Awards evening in the Woodford Dolmen Hotel.”

Netwatch MD Colin Hayes said: “We are delighted to support the Carlow and Kilkenny Awards showcasing young people who make their communities a better place, or have shown fortitude and resolve. The awards are a great opportunity to recognise that a lot of good work is being done by young people throughout Kilkenny and Carlow on a daily basis, which speaks to the Netwatch mission; to create a fearless environment”.
