“The Order of Malta provides a fantastic service for the people of Kilkenny,” said Cllr Cleere.
“Whatever the occasion, the Order of Malta are consistently there and provide a great sense of safety to all of our citizens. I am delighted to be able to formally acknowledge and recognise this fantastic level of volunteerism.
