Leitrim CTC visit

Laura and the girls from the hairdressing course at Leitrim CTC visited the centre today

CTC Garden

My name is Patrick and I am a computer trainee at Sligo CTC. As part of my An Gaisce this week I started working on tidying up on our planter beds from last year. These are located at the back of the building. They are very over-grown and need to be cut back. I enjoy getting outside and working on the garden.
