In memory of Colm Donnelly – fundraising for I.C.U. in St. Vincent’s

18/07/2023

Following the tragic death of 18 year old Colm Donnelly from County Wexford in February 2023, his bereaved family donated a most generous sum of €20,000 to the Intensive Care Unit in St. Vincent’s.

These funds came from a variety of supports.

As well as requesting donations to I.C.U. in lieu of funeral flowers, the extended Donnelly family also organised a fundraising evening and a Tractor Run on 23rd April. The latter raised a total of €57,507.41, supporting four organisations close to the late Colm’s heart – the Intensive Care Unit in St. Vincent’s University Hospital; the Friends of Gorey District Hospital, Gorey Community School and Kilanerin National School.

The capacity of St. Vincent’s I.C.U. will be greatly enhanced by the €20,000 contribution. We are enormously grateful to Colm’s family for this extraordinary generosity in the most painful of circumstance for them.

Rita Devereux and Patsy Stone from the Intensive Care Unit in St. Vincent’s recently attended the cheque presentations.
