Residents from the neighbouring towns of Gorey and Arklow took part in a charity fundraiser last night…
The groups met at 9:20pm along the Courtown Beach to partake in a “Pink Moon: A Celestial Wonder” fundraiser. A relatively large turn out showed up, with their aim of supporting Palestine.

This was dip 16 of 17 on a 2 day dash around the coastline of Ireland raising funds for ACLAÍ Palestine, a core project of the Lajee Centre in Aida refugee camp, in the West Bank in the Occupied Palestinian Territories.
Saturday’s journey seen the group of 50 swimming in Balbriggan, Laytown, Blackrock, Warrenpoint, Port Rush, Portstewart, Bundoran, Tullaghan, Mullaghmore, and finishing the day in Killala.
