The Fermoy International Poetry Festival committee is grateful to the following organisations, associations, local authorities and business groups for their sponsorship and support of the inaugural poetry festival. Without their support it would not have been possible to hold the event. The assistance and cooperation of the traders and restaurateurs who have displayed poems of students from Loreto, St Coleman’s and Youthreach has been a tremendous asset in the promotion of the festival.
