The presentation has taken place of the proceeds of the very successful Christmas Concert held in the Westenra Arms Hotel in Monaghan Town in aid of the Crocus cancer support service.
Chief organisers Martin and Pauline Maguire and family were joined by some of the concert performers for the occasion. €5000 for cancer support services in Monaghan was raised from the most recent concert. Martin Maguire previously told Shannonside Northern Sound news that the concert being set up was a way to give back following his cancer diagnosis. Five concerts later, over €45,000 has been raised from what is a now an annual event and for many locals a feature on their Christmas calendar.
