Lighting Up the Darkness 2024!

The Carolan family in Kilkerley are delighted to announce that after taking a break last year, they are back with a couple of extra bulbs for 2024! They are delighted to be raising money by lighting up their home in aid of two very worthy causes- Dundalk Simon Community (Registered Charity Number: 10951) and Kilkerley National School’s, Garden Sensory Room (Registered Charity Number: 20128821).

The family have raised over €18,500 for charities close to their hearts. In 2020, they raised €4,303 for the Dundalk Simon Community. Then in 2021, they raised €8,321.38 for The Rotunda Foundation and the NICU in Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Drogheda and in memory of their beloved friend Isabelle, they raised €5,927.50, for St. James’s Hospital Dublin, in 2023.

Roisin & Robert were completely blown away to have fundraised this amount for these wonderful organisations and decided to take a break in 2023, but are delighted to be back raising money, and lighting up their house again, in 2024!

Although they didn’t light up the house last year, that didn’t stop Robert from buying lots of new fixtures to surprise & delight young and old! So, be sure to visit and see the lights in person. The Carolan family home is just 5 miles outside Dundalk- Cortial, Kilkerley, Dundalk A91 T671. Make sure and bring the kids and take photos. The lights will be on from 5pm each evening from Sunday 1st of December until the new year.

We would like to say a massive thank you to McElroy Forklifts for sponsoring the use of the hoist to put the lights up.

All proceeds will be donated to Dundalk Simon Community (Registered Charity Number: 10951) and Kilkerley National School’s, Garden Sensory Room (Registered Charity Number: 20128821).
