Members of a local GAA club were delighted to hand over a huge donation of over €7,000.

The presentation of €7,236 - funds raised from two fundraisers organised by members of Kilcummin GAA Club in January - was made to Mary Horgan who was representing Comfort for Chemo.

The first event was a 'Pink Night' organised by the Ladies Committee to coincide with Women's Christmas. It was a great success with people coming out in huge numbers to enjoy a fantastic night of music, dancing and lots of prizes in the Klub bar.

Entertainment on the night was provided by Rosie and Derry Healy followed by DJ Declan McCarthy. Following on from this a '31 Card Memorial Tournament' was organised by the family and friends of the late Dermot 'Brady' Moynihan who was a very active member of Kilcummin GAA Club for many years and an avid card player.

The organisers of the events were delighted with the turnout for both occasions and thrilled with the money raised for such a worthy charity.

"We are so grateful to all the people who took part in the events and donated and a huge thank you goes to the wonderful individuals, business owners and companies who donated so generously to our prizes," Carmel O'Riordan, Kilcummin GAA Ladies Committee, said.

A charity bake sale hosted by Killarney for Palestine was deemed a major success, with the event receiving an extra boost from the appearance of Moglaí Bap of the Belfast rap group Kneecap.

Moglaí Bap, who was in town for Kneecap’s two sold-out concerts at the Gleneagle Arena last Friday and Saturday, led a promotional walk that concluded at the bake sale.
The coffee morning and bake sale took place in the lounge and interior kitchen of the Blacksheep Hostel on New Street on Saturday. It was extended by an hour, running until 2:30 pm, to accommodate the arrival of the walk, which reached the hostel at approximately 1:50 pm. Kneecap is known to organise similar community runs or walks in every town and city where they perform.
Susan Larkin and Lisa O’Sullivan of Killarney for Palestine confirmed the success of the fundraiser. They noted that the appearance of Moglaí Bap “added an extra element of excitement to what was already a wonderful event”.
