The senior alert scheme is very popular. File pic
There was no winner for this week’s lotto so it rolls over until next week with a jackpot of €2,000. The lucky numbers pulled were 4, 11, 16 and 19.
ML J Queally and Ann Torpey were the winner of match-three numbers. Congratulations.

Some messages that the group send out include notifications from the Gardaí, Met Eireann and others which help to keep the community informed. If you would like to join the text service, please contact Kill Action Group on 086 3772945.
