Скачать или смотреть Paul O Connell - Pride in Limerick Lapel Pin

Paul O'Connell and JP McManus officially launched a lapel pin to promote Limerick and pride in the city at the Hunt Museum, Limerick. 'Design a lapel pin' was a new category in the Limerick Going for Gold initiative, a campaign that is sponsored by the JP McManus Charitable Foundation to get communities and businesses in Limerick together to clean up the city. The lapel pin competition invited Limerick students to design a lapel pin that instills pride in Limerick. The seven week competition was open to all primary, secondary and third level students in Limerick City and County. The overall winning entry was from Anna Kinsella, an 11 year old student at St Patricks Girls National School. Anna was among 700 entrants to the competition. Essentially, this was JP's idea and the reasoning is to demonstrate one's pride in your city by wearing it and also showing responsibility to do right for your city by being more conscious of improving the city in whatever way you can as an individual or collectively. The Going for Gold Competition is a huge expression of that. Also the competition aimed to promote the ideas and creativity of young people and the Lapel Pin Competition was a great way to allow them to express their thoughts and ideas and also help them to recognize and take pride in 'their city and county'
"This winning pin represents all that is positive and inspiring about Limerick and is being launched to support the wider objectives of the Going for Gold campaign. In addition to promoting a cleaner brighter Limerick, we would like to inspire pride amongst the community," said JP McManus, who added that he hopes Limerick people will wear the lapel pin with pride. "From grass roots level upwards, we are starting to change the way people embrace our city and we very much want to encourage people in Limerick and beyond to wear the pin with pride," he said.
The lapel pin is available free of charge in selected locations throughout the city including the Hunt Museum and the Limerick Leader office.
