Sell-out show helps Deirdre on the road to recovery

A sell-out concert at Cork’s City Hall has helped to raise vital funds towards the recovery from a stroke of Evening Echo reporter Deirdre O’Reilly, herself a champion fundraiser for charity.

The mother of two young girls is undergoing intensive rehabilitation after suffering a stroke just days before Christmas.

Colleagues at the Evening Echo organised last night’s event, where the audience was treated to entertainment by a host of local and varied musical talent.
