There was great excitements among the children of the Pre and After School Projects in Aras Eoghain, O’Moore Place, Portlaoise  last Tuesday as they were presented with specially designed hoodies for the forthcoming Feile Peil and Feile Na nGael competition in 2017. Donations were also made to other Laois Partnership supported initiatives including the Afterschool Projects in Birchgrove and St. Brigids and also to the Direct Provision Centre at the Montague Hotel and the Syrian Refugee Community.

The hoodies were kindly sponsored Ken & Rowan Barrett (suppliers to Feile Peil and Feile Na nGael) and also Peter O’Neill (Chairman of Feile Na nGael)

Feile Na nGael 2017 will take place in Kilkenny, Wexford and Carlow next June and will include Hurling, Camogie and Handball.
