The funds were raised at the Ger Ambrose O'Meara Memorial Table Quiz at Lisadobber Pub near Carrick-on-Suir

A total of €2,818 of the proceeds of the recent Ger Ambrose-O’Meara Memorial Table Quiz has been donated to the Irish Heart Foundation.

Lisadobber Pub near Carrick-on-Suir was the venue for the table quiz hosted on November 9 by the late Ger Ambrose-O’Meara’s husband Eamon O’Meara and Ballyneale Sportsfield Development Committee.

The donation represents part of the proceeds of the table quiz, which raised more than €5,000.

The remainder of the proceeds will go towards the Ballyneale Community Field Development project.

The table quiz was hugely supported with 52 tables of quiz fans taking part. An auction of a trailer of firewood raised €600 which was added to the Irish Heart Foundation donation.

Ger Ambrose from Ballyneale sadly died of a heart attack in January. She was almost 40 years in business in Clonmel. Her husband Eamon spoke of the great support they received from the business community in Clonmel with many spot prizes sponsored for the event.

The Irish Heart Foundation and Ballyneale Field Committee were delighted with the funds raised for their causes from the quiz night.

Planning permission has been granted for the development of Ballyneale Community Field which should begin early next year.

Ballyneale Field Development Committee thank everyone who helped out, attended and contributed in any way to make the table quiz night such a success.
