The function realised proceeds of €2 800 towards the Niall Largey fund.
The second annual social in aid of the Niall Largey memorial fund took place in The Strand Hotel, Omeath, Co Louth, on Saturday 25 August 2007. Performance, music, dancing, an excellent raffle, and a delicious buffet supper. The star item on the menu in my opinion was the savoury chicken and broccoli pie (I had a second helping). Admission €5. The total sum raised was €2 580 and the money goes towards research into motor neurone disease. A great night!
