Network Ireland Kilkenny has presented Teac Tom with a cheque for €5,240 on behalf of the Network's members. The handover took place at the annual summer social in Sullivan's Tap Room. The funds, raised via a mega draw, will support Teac Tom's mental health and suicide intervention services in Kilkenny and Laois, funding over 100 one-to-one counselling sessions for those in need.

The top prize, an overnight stay at Pembroke Kilkenny with dinner and a day of luxurious pampering, went to Carolann Ryan from Co Clare. For more information, please visit networkireland.ie/page/ Kilkenny or www.
