The Donegal Association in Dublin hosted a fundraising table quiz last weekend to support victims of the devastating flooding in Inishowen last month.
Finín Mac a Bhaird was MC for the event on Friday 8th September at Dtwo on Harcourt Street. He spoke of how the Donegal Association were glad to be able to help and host an event for the victims of the recent floods in Donegal.
The event brings the association back to its grassroots as it was originally founded as a result of a tragedy – The Aranmore Disaster in1935.
Donegal Person of the Year Stephen McCahill travelled from Ardara to be there on the night and said a few words about the association and their work in Dublin.
Peggy Stringer from the Donegal Association Committee who hails from Inishowen spoke of the devastation the recent floods have caused in local communities with people’s livelihoods being wiped out.
