The Goalpost Bar owned and operated by Wolfe Tones GAA club was the setting for the Christmas party.

Music from St Tola’s NS, St Aidan’s NS, St Connaire’s NS and Gaelscoil Donncha Rua set the scene with local singer Mikie Wall also singing some tunes. Helpers were on hand from Ei Electronics, Premier Investigation, Shannon Fire Station, AIB and An Garda Síochána.
