Young Rathcormac man Jonathan Brackett organised and held a coffee morning in Barry’s Bar, Rathcormac on Sunday last in aid of the children’s unit at Cork University Hospital.

Thanks to strong support on the day, the event realised over €300 which will go towards the refurbishment of the unit. Jonathan extends sincere thanks to Spar Rathcormac, parish priest Fr Neilus O’Donnell,  Fitzy’s Fast Food and Dooley’s Post Office for allowing him to advertise in their premises.

He also expressed thanks to Ciara Brackett for baking the lovely cakes that went down a treat on the day; to Katheen Gowen for the use of equipment and to Colm and Orla Barry for allowing him to use their premises to host the event.
