Teenagers from Fermoy and Doneraile were amongst those honoured on Thursday last, May 9, at the Cork North Garda Youth Awards 2024 in the Charleville Park Hotel.

Fermoy locals, Calum and Jacob Ryan, aged 17 and 15, were nominated by a member of their community, being honoured for their work with Fermoy Meals on Wheels, a vital service within the area.

Speaking at the awards, Sergeant Aoife McCarthy stated that the two teenagers ‘epitomise the spirit of volunteerism and community’ and over the last three years, have given up their school holidays to help the Meals on Wheels.
