LISTEN BACK: Trócaire Box has become a national icon

Trócaire has called on all its supporters across Cavan and Monaghan to return their Lenten donations as soon as possible. This year's fundraising effort will provide life-saving support to almost eight million people facing starvation in Somalia.

David O'Hare from Trócaire spoke to the Wider View this week and he highlighted how nearly €40,000 was raised during last year's Lenten campaign by the people of Cavan and Monaghan. First though, he began by pointing to the fact that Trócaire is celebrating 50 years in 2023 and the Trócaire Box has now become a national icon.
