WITH nominations continuing to roll in for this year’s Aisling Awards the manager of the Kennedy Centre, John Jones, is urging readers to nominate educational establishments and school projects to be shortlisted for this year’s Education Award.
The Kennedy Centre is once again sponsoring the Aisling Education Award and John said the shopping centre is proud of its long association with the prestigious awards.
