    The money for this event was provided by the Clubs and Societies Special Applications Fund and was signed out by the Clubs and Societies Executive.

    If we want to talk about needy, I can create an extensive list of people who could use the money, and while the child bursary fund may not be in receipt of funding directly from clubs and societies, we as a whole have been making efforts throughout the year to raise for many different causes.

    The Students Union do not have a say in how C+S money is allocated, so please don't jump to the conclusion that they do.

    Given the amount of people who showed up for the fireworks I believe it was a huge success by the Cumann Gaelach and Criostóir Ó Faoláin who was the main organizer. Lifted my spirits a bit I guess.

    Go Raibh maith agat:)


    We had a great crowd for it and it went really well.



    We ran a fund raiser in Scholars Bar after the fireworks. We will be donating the money raised to Dev soc for their Pakistan appeal.




    Hope you all enjoyed it. ULTV were their to video it so I will post it in the Cumann Gaelach thread when they send it on to me.
