Any Pence or Punts for Billy?

Billy Redmond has issued an appeal for local people to donate to the Irish Wheelchair Association any 'old money' they might have kept since the changeover to the euro.

Billy has been fundraising for the IWA for some ten years now, notably with his familiar Sale of Work each year.

He is offering to change any old money donated to his cause, in the Central Bank. And even if there are people who have stocks of old coinage and notes and wish to donate it to a charity of their own, he says he will also bring it to Dublin for changing on their behalf.

It is estimated that up to £300 million is still out there nationally, in jars and cans, under mattresses, even perhaps in the boots of cars.

Contact Billy on 087 6109362.
