CBS Thurles present Dillon Quirke Foundation with generous cheque following bucket collection
A group of TY students, 5th years, and 6th years put in a stellar effort to raise the funds
Thurles CBS were delighted to to welcome Dan Quirke to the school this week to accept a cheque for €3,200 for the Dillon Quirke foundation.
The money was collected by last year’s TY students along with boys from 5th and 6th year who did a bucket collection before the first round of the Munster Hurling championship match between Tipperary and Limerick on Easter Sunday.
