On Monday, Fossa National School pupils brought their voices together for their Christmas carol singing session with local musicians Padraig Buckley, Maria Falvey, teacher Marie McSweeney and Kirill Healy in Fossa Community Centre. And this year they were joined by Ukraine children who learned some tunes and excitedly sang along.
In town on Tuesday students from St Brendan's College gathered at Market Cross creating a lovely atmosphere for those out Christmas shopping.
The group raised €2,350 for St Vincent de Paul which was the largest amount since the event was started by Tim Gleeson and Paul Barden 21 years ago.
