Local photographer Marie Carroll-O’Sullivan has presented a cheque for €1,200 to the Jack & Jill Children’s Foundation.

The funds were raised during a special fundraising photoshoot held last November.


The presentation took place at the International Hotel in Killarney, where Marie was joined by Siobhán Reen, Specialist Children’s Liaison Nurse with Jack & Jill, and Catriona White, General Manager of the International Hotel.


The Jack & Jill Children’s Foundation provides vital home nursing care and end-of-life support for children with highly complex medical units, as well as offering much-needed respite for their families.

‘Pink Night’ was held in Kilcummin on January 10 in aid of Comfort for Chemo, bringing the entire community together for a very important cause.

The event, which was postponed from the previous week, had music from Rosie and Derry Healy and DJ Declan.

Pink Night has been running for over 20 years, and this marks the fourth year that Comfort for Chemo has been chosen as the beneficiary.

Speaking on the night, organiser Geraldine Pigott said the charity continues to resonate deeply with the community.

She said: “Cancer has touched so many families in one way or another, and Comfort for Chemo offers such practical support at a very difficult time,”

The event drew a strong turnout, and the organisers expressed gratitude to the many local businesses and individuals who donated prizes.

“The generosity we receive every year is incredible,” Geraldine added. “From sponsors to ticket sellers and everyone who comes through the door on the night, it really shows the strength of community spirit here.”

The Best Dressed awards on the night went to Noreen O’Neill & Mike Moloney.
