Danny, nine, in tune with charity after releasing Christmas CD

LAUNCHES of Christmas CDs as charity fundraisers may be two a penny, but one in particular is quite unique - it’s being done by a nine-year-old boy.

Danny O’Leary, a pupil at Scoil Phádraig Naofa in Dunmanway, Co Cork, and his mother, Mary, came up with the idea a couple of months ago and started setting the wheels in motion.

It’s hoped children’s wards at the Mercy Hospital, Cork University Hospital and Kerry General Hospital will benefit to the tune of thousands of euro.
