More funds from Feis

The profit raised by the Parish Feis two weekends ago was 5,150 euros.

The event was as usual organised by the Landers family. The famous dancing family have been running the event for some four decades now.

The Feis started out as part of Kilcullen's annual Carnival, and later moved to the JFK Hall. It is now an annual regular in the Community Centre.

Mrs Elizabeth Landers recalled that their first parish feis resulted in benefit to the parish of £59, but these days it raises several thousand euros each year.
