Offaly Down Syndrome goes Father Ted-ish for The ODS Big Raffle

Robbie Donnelly and James Crombie have put together their very own version of Father Ted to help promote the sales of raffle tickets for The Offaly Down Syndrome Big Raffle where the first prize is a new car!

The video was filmed last month by Tom O’Hanlon, with help from Hugo Loonam Motors and the Tullamore Fire Service, and stars one of the associations members Grainne Lawless.

Robbie, the Branch Administrator of Offaly Down Syndrome said: “We wanted to find a way of putting smiles on peoples faces, whilst also trying to bump up sales of our Big Raffle. However I don’t see any Oscar nominations heading our way soon”.

If you fancy the chance of winning the brand new 251 Suzuki Swift Mild Hybrid from Hugo Loonam Motors in Cloghan, make sure you get your ticket to the Offaly Down Syndrome BIG Raffle NOW! 

Tickets are on sale at www.idonate.ie/raffle/TheODSBigRaffle.
