date Tony, nearly €40,000 has been raised by the different
fund raising activities carried out by local people and also by
the many private donations that have been made to the fund, the
committee are so grateful to all the people who have contributed
so far and Gretta is astounded by the support she is getting and
really appreciates it.
Sinead Reilly and the Spinners from the Combined Clubs in Balbriggan raised over €3900 doing their sponsered spinathon, fair play to all involved and we hope they weren't too saddle sore after it!!
