URGENT: Appeal to public to help fund Christmas lights in Tipperary Town

The Tipperary Town Chamber of Commerce is asking for your help this Christmas.

They have set up a GoFundMe campaign to help pay for the Christmas lights in Tipperary Town.

Eamon Ryan, co-ordinator of the Tipp Town Christmas Lights Committee says that they need financial support this year more than ever.

“We are asking for your help and practical support in the form of a financial donation, as there are extra costs associated with setting up the Christmas lights this year. We need to replace some of the lights, and we also have to have the boxes certified and reconnected. Many businesses are stretched and not in a position to donate as generously this year. 2022 has been a dark year in many ways. By bringing brightness and cheer to the streets of our town, we can help to lift hearts and spirits and bring smiles to the faces of children and to the residents, pedestrians, and shoppers.

“In addition this will present a vibrant, dynamic, atmospheric, and positive look to the town for passing traffic, which is badly needed.

“We are appealing to your generous side and would appreciate any contribution. Thank you for your consideration. We look forward to, and appreciate any contribution that you may make,” said Eamon.

It has been announced that country music star, Louise Morrissey, will officially turn on the lights in Tipperary Town on Saturday December 10 at 5.30pm. “I am really looking forward to this occasion and thank you to the Chamber for asking me. I hope to see lots of you there,” said Louise.
