The Ned Tarrant Memorial Tractor Run 2025 managed to raise a whopping €10,820 for the Irish Kidney Association.

The run has been in action since 2018, initiated in the memory of Kilcorney native, Ned Tarrant. This year the cause was organised in the memory of Dave Condon. In 2019, Dave was on dialysis and received a new kidney from the Irish Kidney Association.

The presentation of the cheque to the association took place in Healy’s Bar, Kilcorney on Good Friday. Pat O’Sullivan spoke on behalf of the organisation, highlighting its importance, stating he himself was a recipient of a kidney. Another triumph for the great committee, well done to everyone involved!
