€54,000 was raised for Irish Cancer Society in Clonmel on Daffodil Day

The Clonmel Daffodil Day Committee raised €54,000 for the Irish Cancer Society during this year’s Daffodil Day, held on March 22. 

On behalf of the committee, Agnes O’Donoghue recently presented a cheque for that amount to Nicola McMahon, community fundraiser in the Munster area for the Irish Cancer Society.

Ms McMahon said she found it difficult to thank people adequately for all their hard work in raising such a fantastic amount to help fund the valuable work carried out by the Irish Cancer Society.
