Tony Walsh continues in the role of President with PJ Ryan elected as Vice President, Paddy Powell is Secretary with Cathy Colgan holding the post of Treasurer.

In May, the Shannon Lions Club held a vintage car rally in Bunratty. Of the funds raised, €500 will be donated to Children’s Cancer Awareness and €300 to Bunratty Search & Rescue.

Speaking at the AGM, Tony thanked all personnel for their support throughout the year and the public for rowing in behind their church gate collections and flag days along with the local companies who made donations.
