Clare Schools ESBI aS Part OF Moneypoint’s sustainability drive, local school children were invited to enter a competition to design a logo which could be incorporated into the side panels of the station’s bio-diesel vans. Following an excellent response from schools across Co. Clare, five winners were selected, each receiving a Wattson energy meter, with first and second places also awarded a food waste composter. Members of the Sustainability Committee presented these prizes to the schools and also gave a talk on energy usage, conservation and sustainability. Moneypoint now has five very colourful Citroen Berlingo vans on site bearing a collage of the logos designed by the children. the Sustainability Committee brought each van back to the relevant schools to show the children the fruits of their labours. the Committee would like to thank all the schools who took part, in particular the children who put so much effort into their designs. the winning schools were Kilmaley national School, Clarecastle national School, Bodyke national School, holy Family Junior School and Bansha national School. n 35 Years: Pictured with their wives and partners at a reception to honour their service to ESB are: Back row (l-r): Damien O’Keeffe (40 years), Mick Sherlock (35 years), Mick O’Brien (40 years), Jimmy King (40 years), Brian Mimnagh (40 years), Brian Carson (35 years), John Higgins (35 years) and Pat O’Doherty, Executive Director ESBEI, who made the presentations on the night.
