Community comes together for Baby Grace with special rambling house
A host of talented musicians, singers and dancers came out to provide a night of entertainment to raise funds for the Baby Grace Fund.
This fund was set up for baby Grace Maria O'Sullivan, who was born prematurely at 33 weeks on Monday, March 24, arriving into the world facing complex medical issues.
Her devoted parents, Padraig O'Sullivan and Julett Culloty with the dream of becoming parents, began their journey with the help of surrogacy in Cyprus. They have remained by her side in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit since her birth. She has already undergone serious surgery and will require more to address her critical heart condition.
To help Grace receive the lifesaving care she needs and to support her parents with the significant costs of her treatment and their temporary relocation to Cyprus, The Baby Grace Fund has been established.
The community in Glenflesk have now played a part in helping this fund raising over €3,000 with the success of the Rambling House on Easter Sunday night.
To date the online GoFundMe has exceeded all expectations with over €120,000 raised for the family.
In another kind gesture the Rambling House had been organised to raise funds for another family – the Lenihan family – whose home burned down but the family instead asked to funds to be donated to the Baby Grace Fund.
Organiser Neily Moynihan said it was a 'great night for a great cause' and he thanked the community for supporting such a wonderful event and especially the talented performers who ensured a great night of entertainment for all.

I've found the perfect summer top from M&S, and I'm even more excited now I can finally shop there online again
IT can be heard to find a versatile top to style up for day or night without resorting to the same old T-shirt. So it's no wonder there's a new option from Marks & Spencer that has fashion fans all excited. 3 Mum-of-two Irene took to Instagram to share her new M&S fringe top Credit: Instagram/renewearsfashion 3 She teamed the top with some wide-legged cream trousers and metallic sandals Credit: Instagram/renewearsfashion 3 The £35 number also comes in black Credit: M&S Mum-of-two Irene is among them, and took to her The But it's the detail on the hem that really ups the wow factor - a gorgeous fringe trim. "How cute is this top from Marks & Spencer?" Irene captioned her Instagram Reel. Read more Style stories In the video, she teamed the cream top with a pair of wide-legged cream trousers, metallic sandals and a straw beach-style bag. She added some cute jewellery and wore her hair in loose, beachy waves. And other people were quick to add to Irene's praise of the top. "Love this!" one wrote. Most read in Fabulous As another agreed: "It's truly cute!" "Fringe trims give this elegant top a fun, free-spirited twist," M&S said of the Collection top on their website. Shoppers run for summer's 'wow factor' denim jacket in M&S, it's set to go viral "The textured detailing adds movement and flair, perfect for lifting everyday outfits." Shoppers haven't been able to nab anything from M&S online for over a month, following a damaging cyber attack over Easter weekend in April. Personal data of customers, which may have included names, email addresses, dates of birth and postal addresses, was taken in the attack - after which M&S halted online orders. But now the outlet is once again accepting online orders on certain products - with "more of our fashion, home and beauty products will be added every day", John Lyttle, M&S managing director of clothing, home and beauty, said. In a statement posted on social media, he added: "We will resume deliveries to Northern Ireland and Click and Collect in the coming weeks. "Thank you sincerely for your support and for shopping with us." Luckily enough, the fringe top is one of the products available to buy from the M&S website now. However, due to demand, delivery will take around 10 days.
