A constant attendance throughout the morning and early afternoon ensured that the café was busy and that lots of money was donated. At present the amount raised is in excess of €2,000. Contributions can still be made at the café this weekend. Special thanks to all who contributed to the fundraiser; bakers, donors and the café itself.
Thanks to the GAA club also for organising a roadside litter pick for all the roads in our parish a few weekends ago. The litter pick is undertaken as a pre-season team-building exercise by the club but is in fact a great service to the whole community. Countless bags of rubbish were collected. In a perfect world, there would be no litter scattered along our roads. Please encourage best practice by taking litter home for disposal.
