We are delighted to get some much support and everyone was very happy chatting in such a lovely friendly place, and sure we nearly took over the chemist so thanks to Killian McGreal for allowing us to use your chemist. Thanks to John Davis from Chef’s Corner, Theresa Colgan and Theresa O’Reilly for beautiful home cooking. Such a spread was really appreciated. Total raised €746 so a big thank you to everyone.
