The Ballsbridge ICA Guild is in its second year and is going from strength to strength. The highlight of their first meeting of 2008 was a talk by Father Peter McVerry on his wonderful work with the young homeless.

A cheque for €700 was presented to him by Treasurer Pauline Kenny. This money was collected by an auction of unwanted Christmas gifts and by personal donations by members.

Anyone wishing to join the Ballsbridge ICA can contact the Secretary Ide NíThuama at 087 917 6388 or Bridie Murphy at 2691001 or 086 338 0890.
