Local author presents €4K from proceeds of latest book to special needs school in Kill

A local author has donated €4,000 from the proceeds made from sales of a book about the town of Naas.

Larry Breen, author of the Nas na Riógh book, recently presented a cheque for €4000 to the Kill Saplings School Principal, Louise Caraher, the money being profits from the sale of his book.

Mr Breen launched the book last November at the Naas Town Hall chambers, and it has since proved to be a popular publication in the town.

The money will go towards the school in Kill, which is dedicated to helping children with special needs, and the school plan to use the donation to help fund the upgrading of their outdoor playground.
