Mrs Brown's Boys star to raise funds for Buncrana victims and suicide charities

Mrs Brown’s Boys star Danny O’Carroll has revealed plans for two celebrity events in his adopted Co Donegal next month to raise money for two charities — the Buncrana drowning tragedy and suicide prevention.

Danny, who plays Buster in the show, had originally planned just one event to help establish a Pieta House centre in Letterkenny.

But when he saw the tragedy in Buncrana unfold on television in Australia last month as the Mrs Brown’s Boys tour was finishing there, he said he was horrified. Louise James lost her partner Seán McGrotty, 46, sons Mark, 12 and Evan, eight, as well as her mother Ruth Daniels, 59, and her 14-year-old sister Jodi-Lee.
