Livestock auction helps raise €120k for cancer centre

A livestock auction to raise funds for a cancer support and drop-in centre in Co Cork has helped raise over €120,000.

The vast majority of the money was raised through the auction with an additional sum attributed to spin-offs from the event.

The farmers’ committee behind the auction presented the cheque to the Youghal Cancer Support Group, at a presentation night in the Walter Raleigh Hotel.
