PS. Please take note that my weekly report will no longer be heard live on radio, except for a 30 seconds snippet, which will be heard at 10.30 on Tuesday mornings. After that my full report can only be accessed on line, C103.ie. I believe that all the reports from round the county will be run starting at 10.30 on Tuesdays. I am sorry for all the people who don’t have online. However the new change will mean that people at home and all over the world will now be able to get the reports live from wherever they are at any time. Poor consolation I know for all those who don’t have computers. Modern methods always come at a price, unfortunately.
Thank you Eily for your support. We are very gratefull for your help towards this worthy cause. We would also like to thank everyone who contributed to our fundraising so far and assure you that 100% of your money will reach Marymount Hospice. Thanks Again to one & all.
