Family night at the dogs to benefit Down Syndrome Ireland

MOST of us enjoy a night at the dogs and next month people will have the opportunity to bring the whole family out for a good cause.

On February 26 the Irish Greyhound Board will host its first ever multi-venue family benefit night in aid of Down Syndrome Ireland.

In association with the Irish Examiner, the event will take place across 10 locations — Limerick, Cork, Tralee, Galway, Mullingar, Dundalk, Dublin, Newbridge, Thurles and Waterford — with all funds raised being distributed both nationally and to regional branches of Down Syndrome Ireland.
