DAFFODIL DAY


Daffodil Day, an annual fund-raising event in aid of the Irish Cancer Society,  has always been well supported by the people of Portlaw, both volunteer collectors and supporters.
A grand total of €2,027 was collected at four locations in the town this year (2011).  
The nationwide total was expected to be in the region of €4,000,000.
