Pat Clarke, CEO of Down Syndrome Ireland spoke to us about looking forward to the National Night at the Dogs on 25th February. We also had the opportunity to visit the Limerick DSI branch, to see first hand how funds are put to excellent use providing activities and facilties for their members.

On Friday 13th, 2012 one of Ireland’s best-loved comedians PJ Gallagher took to the tracks at Shelbourne Park to launch a unique partnership between Down Syndrome Ireland and the Irish Greyhound Board.

For the second year running the Greyhound Board will host a benefit night at the dogs in greyhound stadia across the country to raise much needed funds for Down Syndrome Ireland on the 25th February, 2012.

Thousands of people are expected to attend the benefit night all across the country and Down Syndrome Ireland are hoping to raise over €100,000.  The good-value, family friendly events are for a very worthy cause with raffles and goodie bags for all children attending on the 25th February.

Greyhound stadia across the country taking part in the Down Syndrome Ireland fundraiser including:  Shelbourne Park, Dundalk, Galway, Lifford, Limerick, Mullingar, Newbridge, Tralee, Thurles and  Waterford.
