The musical entertainment on the night was provided by the “Let it Beatles” tribute band who were superbly supported by  Ciara O’Brien.

Dancing continued into the small hours with a disco by Brendan Buckley.

The specialist care provided by the Jack and Jill Foundation makes an enormous difference to the lives of the children and their families across the country.

There are currently over 416 children under their caring wing, including ten in Tipperary.

This recent fundraiser, which generated an amazing €19,375, will greatly assist in providing specialist home nursing care to so many families.

We would like to each and every person and business who so kindly supported this fundraiser, in particular our main sponsor, Eamonn Grey.

Special mention also goes to the Templemore Arms Hotel for all their magnificent support.

Templemore and the surrounding hinterland is an amazing community full of amazing people and once again that community spirit and kindness came to the forefront to support its people.
