The appeal has also sent a clear message of support from the heart of the Bray community and is something we can all be proud of. The appeal will come to an end next Saturday 26th September @ midday.

Food and accommodation is provided by the state and a weekly allowance of €38.80 per adult & €29.80 per child.…
