Over 500 people attended and over €6,500 was donated that morning - which organisers described as an "overwhelming success".

"We would firstly like to thank Marcus and Irene Sweeney for allowing their property to be used for many years. They have always been fantastic supporters of Hospice and we will always be eternally grateful", the organisers said.
