Fundraising

On Saturday, 22nd February 2025, at the McWilliam Park Hotel, community groups from across Claremorris came together for the project's inaugural fundraiser: A Lip Sync Battle, which raised €153,000.

A huge thanks to all involved - the acts performing, business sponsors, and the community at large for their generous donations. #inthistogether. 

Well done to the winners, Foróige Fever, who gave an energetic and entertaining performance, as well as raising over €27k as a group!

Feasibility Study

Thanks to all who participated in the process - completing the survey, participating in one-to-one interviews, or joining the community (round table) workshops. 

So far, there is positive feedback coming through - with 62% survey respondents stating that the development is Critically Needed (a further 25% stated it as Important and Needed). Additionally, 60% respondents currently travel out of Claremorris to participate in indoor sports and recreation activities, further underscoring the need and benefit.

The study is due to wrap up by end of April 2025. 

St Patrick's Day

The Committee was delighted to join the hugely successful St Patrick's Day celebrations in the town on Sunday 16th March. 

The day was perfectly rounded off with the Hooley in the Hall, a night of traditional music and dance in the Town Hall Theatre. Proceeds from the concert went to the project. Huge thanks to the musicians for being so generous with their time and talent. Read more.
