Poulfur Autistic Unit, which provides for children across the New Ross district since 2010, was a deserving recipient of a fabulous handmade timber play-castle from Tintern Men’s Group this week, which has now been set up for all to enjoy in their outside play area.

A Wood-Working Course for this group of local men, funded by Wexford Local Development and delivered by Tommy Kelly at Bevel Furniture, was all the incentive they needed to decide to put their time and materials to good use and design and build the amazing castle which certainly struck a chord with all the pupils at Poulfur N.S.

The men’s group members along with representatives from WLD and Poulfur Board of Management, were treated to a selection of up-tempo songs from the pupils, followed by welcome refreshments before an extremely informative tour of the Autistic Unit by Principal, Domini Aherne.
