Gardaí help raise €1m for Asia aid

GARDA COMMISSIONER Noel Conroy will today join pub and hotel chiefs in handing over a cheque for over €1 million to the Irish Red Cross.

The money will bring the total collected by the Red Cross Asian tsunami appeal to almost €11m since fundraising began on St Stephen’s Day.

The public continued to pour money into aid agencies over the weekend with over €20m collected.
