Scotia Ensemble raises €4,290 for Kerry Hospice

“We were delighted with the outcome and we are most grateful to Bishop Ray Browne and the Killarney Parish clergy for allowing us to stage the event at the lovely Park Road church location which proved to be an ideal setting for the concert” said Cathal Walshe, PRO of Killarney Branch, Kerry Hospice Fundraising Com- mittee.

“The committee would especially like to thank Dr Sharon, choir and orchestra for a lovely evening of music and song which was much appreciated by the large audience. The generosity of all who donated raffle prizes and members of the public who came along to support the show is very much appreciated.”

The proceeds of the show will go towards the provision of care for patients, which includes nursing support, specialist services and equipment.

Kerry hospice needs to raise in excess of €10,000 weekly to support these services.

Minister for Education, Norma Foley TD, this week launched a substantial four-year research partnership between Liebherr Container Cranes Ltd, Lero, the Science Foundation Ireland Research Centre for Software and Munster Technological University (MTU).

The project will develop and expand Liebherr’s existing systems for ‘smart cranes’ which help to safely and efficiently move millions of shipping containers around the world every day.
