Castlemagner community volunteer Kathleen Moylan has been shortlisted for the prestigious Volunteer Ireland Awards 2026, having been selected as one of just three finalists in the Social Inclusion and Community Support category.
With over 400 nominations received nationwide, this is a tremendous honour for Kathleen and a very proud moment for the Castlemagner community.
For many years, Kathleen has generously devoted countless hours of her time, talents and energy to the parish and wider community. Her involvement has spanned youth organisations, schools, the church, community hall, senior club, musicals and numerous other local activities.
Kathleen is widely admired for her enthusiasm, encouragement, kindness and willingness to share her knowledge and nurture others. Her contribution has made a lasting difference to people of all ages, and her dedication represents the very best of community volunteering.
The people of Castlemagner are delighted that her extraordinary commitment has received national recognition. We also wish to acknowledge Kathleen’s family, who have generously supported and shared her with the community over the years.
Kathleen will attend the National Volunteer Ireland Awards celebration in Blanchardstown, Dublin, on Saturday, 28th November.
As a community, we could not be more proud. We will all be rooting for Kathleen on the night, but to us she is already a winner.
