Tipperary 'Parish Links' Christmas party was an outstanding success

THE PARISH LINKS

The Parish Links held their annual Christmas party on Sunday, January 7 at the NICC. The event was a great success, with many people coming together to celebrate the end of the festive season.

The committee would like to extend their gratitude to Eileen Condon and her staff for the delicious meal they provided.

The Christmas cake, generously supplied by Mary O'Donnell of New Inn, was highly praised by all.

Eddie Golden and his band provided wonderful entertainment, performing a variety of songs alongside Jimmy, Ashling, James, and Ciara Lee. Kate O’Dwyer, a dancer from ‘On Your Toes,’ delighted the audience with her lyrical dance piece. The ‘Burgess School’ Irish dancers from New Inn, including Leah and Sophie Lonergan, Grace, Ruth and Emily O’Dwyer, Emma O’Driscoll, and Saoirse McHugh, also put on a beautiful display. Esther Boland of New Inn was the lucky winner of the hamper that was on display in The Shop, New Inn.

The committee would like to thank Michael Purcell and the other committee members for selling the lines of the hamper, which raised much-needed funds for the Parish Links. The committee also wishes to thank the local businesses, clubs, and individuals who donated spot prizes on the day. Their generosity greatly contributed to the success of the event.

The hard-working committee deserves great credit for their dedication and effort in organizing this event year after year.

The Hall committee also deserves a special mention for their support. The event was not only a great celebration but also an opportunity for parishioners to reconnect with old friends and make new ones. The committee would like to thank everyone who attended the party and wishes everyone a Happy and Healthy New Year!
