€28k for Samaritans’ rural work

AGRI Aware chairman Mike Magan and IFA president John Dillon yesterday presented €28,000 to the Samaritans, in support of their work in rural Ireland.

The donation was initiated by a group of farmers, and the IFA in turn added €5,000 to the fund.

Ruby Gould, Samaritans Publicity Officer, said they intend to use the money to further develop their role in combating rural isolation.
