Irish Life Steps Challenge and Ireland Lights Up in conjunction with RTE’s Operation Transformation both completed this week. Well done to those who completed the Irish Life Steps Challenge over the past 5 weeks. During the period from 9 January to 12 February, we walked a combined total of 10,157.4km which means our club will be entered into a draw for a €2,500 O’ Neills Sports voucher. The final night of Ireland Lights Up also took place yesterday evening, 14 February. Well done to all those who participated. The organising of these were Noel’s last act as the club’s healthy officer. Noel would like to thank everyone who has helped him over the past five years in this role. If anyone is interested is taking over the role, please reach out to Noel or Seamus. The club would like to thank Noel for his contributions in this role over the years.
