At a reception in the Letterkenny Public Services Centre on Monday night, Mayor Brogan congratulated the committee on surpassing the €1million fundraising mark in 2025 and acknowledged the immense effort behind the achievement. “It’s something very special that you have achieved as a committee,” Cllr Brogan said. “Knowing the amount of work that is involved in an event like this, it takes a lot of people and a lot of teamwork to come together. “I have seen this event develop into one of the biggest events in our calendar in the north west and it’s important we as a council recognise the vast contribution that all of you have made over the years. “It doesn’t just happen without an awful lot of hard work behind the scenes.
