Overwhelming public support to raise funds
All the money raised will be in addition to the €7 million already donated by the public. The final figure is likely to exceed the Government’s official allocation of €10m.
More than a thousand walkers walked around Howth Summit in Co Dublin yesterday to raise funds for Goal’s relief effort. Already €25,000 has been lodged in the bank account opened for the event but a six-figure sum is expected when a final tally is made. One single anonymous donation of €3,000 was lodged yesterday.
