Fund raises $40m for Irish charities
The organisation is staging its annual conference in Dromoland Castle, Co Clare, this weekend and Kieran McLoughlin said funds raised last year are almost a four-fold increase on those raised in 2009.
President Mary McAleese attended the fund’s gala evening at Dromoland last night and Mr McLoughlin said the fund is on target to match last year’s record total by already raising $20m in 2011.
