Patricia Masterson and Anne O’Neill were both involved in the founding of the branch 20 years ago, in memory of their late father Joe Callaghan CCÉ. This Gradam award signifies the dedication and commitment they have given to the branch over the last 20 years. Both ladies were stunned but very grateful. They were presented on the night with a Gradam Certificate, Medallion, glassware and flowers.
It was a very successful evening and Joe Callaghan CCÉ thanks all those who attended and supported the event. Well done to all involved.
