Village barbecue aids fire victim

BUSINESSES in Ballyferriter joined forces to host a barbecue on Sunday evening to raise funds for a neighbour who lost his belongings when fire devastated his home recently.

Displaying great community spirit, locals rallied to raise funds to help relieve the difficult situation. Local business owners took time off from their own work to set up and prepare the barbecue at the entrance to the Museum in Ballyferriter. Sausages, burgers and salads aplenty were provided as people found perches around the village to enjoy the fare. The sun shone and the breeze which had swept through the village all day calmed in time for the occasion.

“There was a great turn, out everyone enjoyed themselves and we gathered some money for a good cause,” said Diarmuid Sayers of Tigh an tSaorsaigh.
