Emer’s Evening’: (All proceeds go to St. Felim’s N.S. Playground)
Padraic and Lisa McIntyre held a fundraiser for Temple Street Children’s Hospital after their daughter Emer was born. It was called ‘Emer’s Evening for Temple Street’. To mark the fifth anniversary of this occasion, they are hosting it again. This time they have kindly offered that all proceeds will go to St. Felim’s N.S. Playground.
Emer’s Evening will take place in the Bailie Hotel, on Sunday, April 9th. Doors will open at 7.30pm with the show starting at 8.00pm, sharp. Tickets are €25 and are on sale from The Bailie Hotel and SuperValu.
The line –up for this event is one of the best ever assembled in the town: House Band—Kudos, MC’S on the night—Neal and Fergal Tully (The Goggle Box Twins), The Strypes, Charlie McGettigan (Eurovision Winner), Kevin McGahern (The Republic of Telly), Elenor Shanley (Singer), Michael Harding (Writer), Seamus O’Rourke (Writer and Actor), Saramai Leech (Singer/Songwriter), Geoff Minogue and Mike Sheehan (Fair City), Jane McGrath and Pa Ryan (Red Rock), Aoibhinn McGinity and Ian Lloyd Anderson (Love/ Hate), Manus Halligan (Actor), Peter Daly (Actor), Janet Moran (Actress), Aaron Monaghan (Actor), Clare Monnelly (Actress) and Jayne Origan and friends (Musical Theatre) and Conor McIntyre (Brother).

Adult hurling;
We are going to give adult club hurling a go this year. Most likely on a recreational basis in the first instance unless we unearth a huge demand! Anyone interested in helping to set this up be it as a player, coach/manager, administration etc is very welcome to join the setup. We hope to start training at the end of April and our friends at Ulster GAA will make some of their coaches available to help get the ball rolling. Please spread the word out in the local community. This is our next big step in our hurling development but it will take a lot of smaller steps to get it going.
