Attended by a broad range of business and community groups from across the borough, the evening raised more than £4,000 for Motor Neurone Disease Association.

“It was a great night’s craic,” said the Lord Mayor. “I sincerely want to thank everyone for coming and in particular a big shout out to all those businesses and people who bought raffle tickets, sponsored prizes in the raffle or who donated privately to the Motor Neurone charity.

“The generosity of the people in this area never ceases to amaze and inspire, and the charity was absolutely delighted with the funds raised.”
