Moycarkey, Two-Mile-Borris & Littleton, Co. Tipperary – Community Correspondent Required.

An opportunity to carry on a proud tradition of keeping the community in the news.

**Local Press Correspondent Mr Gerry Bowe.**

The parish of Moycarkey, Two-Mile-Borris and Littleton parish is seeking a new community correspondent to report on local news, events, achievements and matters of interest.
The role involves preparing weekly news reports and photographs for publication in the Tipperary Star, Thurles Information and Tipperary Echo, ensuring that the people and happenings of the parish continue to receive the recognition and attention they deserve.

A Special Tribute to Mr Gerry Bowe.
After an extraordinary almost 50 years of dedicated service, the current correspondent, Mr Gerry Bowe, has decided to retire from his role. Over those almost five decades, Mr Bowe has worked with seven editors of the Tipperary Star, faithfully recording the everyday happenings, special occasions, achievements and memorable moments that make up the life of the stated community.

Mr Bowe’s contribution to Moycarkey, Two-Mile-Borris and Littleton has been truly invaluable. Week after week, year after year, his commitment to keeping people informed has ensured that local stories, both great and small, have been told and preserved. From sporting successes, school achievements and parish celebrations to personal milestones, community developments and tributes to those who have passed on; he has given a voice to the people of his parish. Through his reports and photographs, he has helped maintain a precious connection between those living locally and the many families, friends and former residents scattered throughout Ireland and across the world.

For half a century, Mr Bowe has been much more than a local correspondent. He has been a chronicler of parish life, a guardian of local memories and a vital link between generations. His dedication, reliability and genuine interest in the lives of others have helped ensure that the people and places of his beloved community have never been forgotten or overlooked. At a time when local news is more important than ever, his contribution reminds us of the tremendous value of community journalism. Gerry leaves behind a remarkable legacy of service, and the parish owes him a sincere debt of gratitude for the countless pen pushing hours he has devoted to keeping its people informed, connected and, above all, in the spotlight.

Thank you, Mr Bowe, for almost 50 wonderful years of dedication, commitment and service to your community. Your contribution deserves the highest praise and appreciation.
