Miscellany fund keeps rising

The fund of donations related to the Miscellany on Sunday hosted by Tom and Phena Bermingham before Christmas continues to climb.

At the last count it had reached €4,295, money which will be well spent in helping the work of the Michael Garry Hostel for the homeless in Newbridge.

The fund was helped most recently by a table quiz held in Bushes of Dunlavin, and by an anonymous donation of €70.

The hostel is operated by the St Vincent de Paul.
