THE Tralee Save the Green Committee will be 50 years together this year and to mark the historic occasion, a very special commemorative event will take place in the Town Park on the Friday, September 6, at 6 pm.

The location will be at the ‘Old Oak Tree’ near the Denny Street entrance. The group was formed in 1969 to oppose the creation of a road at this area.

There have been other issues in the interim including the group gathering 10,818 signatures in opposition to a plan to allow traffic enter near Siamsa Tíre in 2013.

There’ll be music and the event is set to be a colourful and memorable affair. All friends and supporters are invited and more details will be announced closer to the event.
