A huge ‘thank you’ has been expressed this week who contributed towards the local effort to coordinate aid for those stricken by the earthquake in Turkey and Syria.
A local donation drive for victims of last Monday's devastating earthquake in Turkey and Syria has been organised, and a truck courtesy of Dairygold will be transporting donated goods to Dublin Airport over the weekend, to be flown onwards to the stricken region by Turkish Airlines.
