Over 170 Christmas trees across 59 primary schools were collected as part of the competition and all trees will be on display in the Crescent Shopping Centre for the month of December.

Primary school pupils across Limerick City and County were encouraged to put their creative skills and imaginations to the test by decorating a large Christmas tree with recycled and recyclable materials.

The aim of the competition was to encourage children to learn more about the importance of recycling, sustainability and teamwork.
