Radio star funds children’s treatment

RADIO and TV presenter Ray D’Arcy has made the largest ever single donation to the National Children’s Hospital.

As a result the hospital is now in a better position to treat children with serious lung and respiratory conditions, such as cystic fibrosis and asthma.

The Today FM DJ donated the entire €170,000 profit from the sale of his album Even Better Than the Real Thing, a collection of Irish artists performing cover versions of famous pop songs that was recorded on the station. The profits went to the Dublin hospital that takes referrals from around the country.
