Christmas Lights
The Borrisoleigh Christmas Tree and Lights were switched on on Sunday December 2nd in front of a large crowd. The honour of switching on the lights were given to retired school principal Kay Ryan to thank her for her years of dedicated service to the children of the parish. The U12 County Final winning teams were also honoured on the night. We even had a surprise visit from Santa!
