A number of Christmas favourites are featured on a new CD just produced by children and adults in Roscrea.

The CD, 'Love Came',  is to be launched in the town on Thursday next, December 4th.

All profits from the sales of the CD will go to the schools of local children who participated in the production.

The name of the CD is also the title of a new Christmas song composed in Roscrea and which features on the album.

The new song will be sung live in Castle Street in town on December 4th at 5.30pm.

Chairman of the town's Enhancement Committee, Brian King, described the production of the CD as a remarkable community project, celebrating something special in the town.
