Climb for Sick Kids 2016

Thanks to everyone who donated to this great charity. The overall event was a fantastic success and the final total is yet to be announced. ?250 was raised from the donation bucket in the main ESB Networks canteen and the small kitchen in Wilton.

Thanks,

Sinead

Over the 1st weekend of September, members of Cork City and County Fire Brigades assisted by Gardai and HSE Ambulance service will carry out a ladder climb to reach the heights of Mount Everest. The climb will be facilitated by a group of emergency service personnel visiting all 23 towns that have fire stations in Cork City and County.

The climb will move from town to town collecting money through sponsorship cards, selling unique collection of once off tie pins from all the services involved to commemorate the event. A bank account for this event is set up in the name of “Climbing for sick kids” under the Cork City Fire Brigade Sports and Social club. Sort code 91-41-78 Acc 77148324

All money raised will go directly to a great charity that has helped member’s families over the years, “Cork City Hospitals Children’s Club”. A committee representing various organisations have been set up to oversee the running of the event, comprising of local representatives who will be collecting and fundraising for this event.

For every ?995 raised, a sick child can enjoy a break to Euro Disney which will hopefully bring a smile back on their courageous faces while undergoing or post treatment.

There is a bucket for collection in the canteen in Wilton.

PLEASE PLEASE DONATE TO THIS VERY WORTHY CAUSE.

My brother in law works with Cork City Fire Brigade and is very involved with this event.

Thanking you in advance J

culture-night-2016.jpg

Since its humble beginnings as a small scale cultural show in 2006, Culture Night has become an important all-island event that celebrates Ireland’s culture, creativity and the arts.

This year, the annual event takes place on Friday, September 16 with cultural organisations and venues extending their opening hours to allow visitors a unique insight into some of Ireland’s most iconic buildings and cultural work.

More than 350,000 people visited museums, galleries, historic houses, artists’ studios and cultural centres across the country last year. As always, ESB is opening their doors to specially organised events.

Chamber Choir Ireland @ ESB Headquarters, Dublin 2

Time: 6-8pm
The prestigious Chamber Choir Ireland will perform at ESB’s headquarters on Lower Fitzwilliam Street on Culture Night, with visitors also offered the opportunity to see some of ESB’s art collection and building.

No. 29, Dublin’s Georgian House Museum

Come and discover the jewel in the crown of Georgian Dublin. Enjoy the beauty, grandeur and history of this beautifully restored townhouse which depicts home life in middle class Dublin from 1790 -1820.

Visitors can enjoy live music from the Astral String Quartet who will perform an eclectic mix of classical and popular favourites in the opulent surroundings of the Drawing Room from 7pm to 9pm.

ESB Centre for the Study of Irish Art, National Gallery of Ireland, D2

Famous GAA faces recall their fond memories of playing Minor football and hurling

Famous-GAA-faces2.jpg

I would concentrate on football and hurling and discover Copper Face Jacks around 26 or 27.

In what might not come as a huge surprise, it was Marty Morrissey who said that when asked what advice he’d give to his younger self; you might not know that Marty played in goals for the Clare minor footballers in his youth.

Watch now:

Famous-GAA-faces-b.jpg

At Electric Ireland we are continuing to champion the Minor hurlers and footballers by proving that there’s ‘nothing minor about playing Minor’ and ahead of the Minor Hurling Final we have teamed up with Marty, Niall Breslin (Bressie) and some other very famous faces to hear about their experiences with the Minor Championship and to look back on the ‘major moments’ that shape a teenager’s life.

Follow the conversation and tell us what advice you would give to your teenage self-using the #GAAThisIsMajor
