Gift of the gab a blessing for hospice
A €1,000-an-hour 24-hour speak-a-thon in aid of Marymount Hospice is being launched today — and the organisers are inviting, as well as the aforementioned, Agriculture Minister Simon Coveney, Chernobyl campaigner Adi Roche, and Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin.
The idea is that each speaker will give an address or read a story for a maximum of 10 minutes. The entire event, which is being organised by The Enterprise Hub, a business networking group, will run for 12 solid hours and require six speakers an hour or a total of 150 speakers. Each speaker must raise €100.
