*THE CANCER CENTRE OF EXCELLENCE FOR THE WEST AND NORTHWEST OF IRELAND EVENT HAS MOVED VENUE DUE TO LARGE ATTENDEE NUMBERS, SEE DETAILS BELOW*

You may have attended an event earlier this year in Dublin regarding the proposed Cancer Centre of Excellence for the West and Northwest of Ireland and the fact that it has been included in the National Development Plan 2021 – 2030.

We are delighted to share with you that the Strategic Assessment Report (SAR) for the Cancer Centre on the UHG Galway hospital campus has now been completed. This is an essential part of the process for this pivotal health project; and the next step is for the HSE, Department of Health and Government to review and approve this submission and fully commit to the project. Once this happens a design team can be appointed and the Cancer Care Centre for the people of the West of Ireland will become a welcome reality.

An architectural model of potential infrastructural options for the Cancer Centre and associated facilities will also be presented.

Join us for an evening event on the 17th November 2022 at 7.30pm at the Salthill hotel, Galway to learn more about this welcome development to Fight and Cure Cancer.

LeitrimWall – Christmas Gift

A lovely piece in the Observer on the Leitrimwall

The success of the Leitrimwall continues with Leitrim people buying ten bricks already this year. All bricks purchased this year will be on the wall  in the new year. Bricks were bought by people remembering family or friends  who had passed, or acknowledging and celebrating family and friends both at home and abroad. Some people just  wanted  to express their pride of the home place, their townland  or their home clubs..

People buying a brick in the wall are not only supporting Leitrim GAA but according to Siobhan Doyle, a cultural historian who works in the National Museum  the Leitrimwall is one of 100 objects which acts as a signpost to significant moments in GAA history.

Bricks can be bought as a gift or a Christmas present by contacting Brian Blake on 0872046177 or by calling in to the Leitrim GAA Centre of Excellence in Annaduff or by buying your brick on line at www.leitrimwall.com

 If you are in the USA,  log on to – www.irishap.org/leitrim-gaa

By buying the brick  via  this Irish American Partnership link you will be entitled to a tax deduction

 You too can be a part of the History of the GAA by buying a brick in the Leitrimwall
