Festival to ‘give something back’ to children’s hospital

A festival which began life inspired by a child’s recovery at Crumlin Children’s Hospital is expected to draw over 15,000 people to Clonmel this weekend.

The fourth annual Clonmel Busking Festival got under way yesterday in the south Tipperary town and continues until Sunday.

It aims to bolster the €50,000 it raised in its first three years for Our Lady’s Hospital in Crumlin.
