Donegal IFA’s final fundraising push for charity

Auctioneer Matthew Donnellan has been drafted in once again to oversee the bids.

Following a tractor run in east Donegal and livestock auction in Stranorlar Mart, Donegal IFA is concluding its fundraising drive for Cancer Care West with a charity auction in the Clanree Hotel, Letterkenny, on Friday 18 October. I hear all three IFA presidential hopefuls will be attending the auction. I’m sure farmers in attendance will be keeping a close eye to see who brings their chequebooks with them on the night.
