Funeral Catering GroupHappy New Year to all our supporters (of which there are many, and we are so grateful!)The New year got off to a great start for the FCG with two very generous fundraisers by Graignamanagh GAA and The Cosy Bar .Many thanks to Thomas ‘Hobie’ Holden, Mary O’Donnell, Jim Whelan, Denis Rackard Cody and all those GAA gems involved in the St. Stephen’s Day hurling challenge match between the fantastic 1980s vets and the current young guns. It was a brilliant event and yielded €1,380 for our group.Also, equally great was the effort by Denis Doyle, James Doyle and Therese Lyng of The Cosy Bar who made and raffled a lovely hamper over the holidays. This gave us another €480.Many, many thanks to all who contributed. We will spend the money on an industrial-standard piece of kit for our kitchen, which is much needed.
