THE 8TH ANNUAL ANTIQUE FAIR AND ROAD SHOW in aid of the Lourdes Invalid Fund took place on Sunday April 3rd (Mothers Day) at the Walter Raleigh Hotel, Youghal. The late Mary Neville, of Neville’s Drapery, Youghal, who passed away at a young age two years ago, established the event. It is now being overseen by her family and friends. The antique fair raises money to help the Cloyne Diocesan Pilgrimage to send local pilgrims to Lourdes each June.

About ten dealers from throughout Munster appraised household items, including crockery, jewellery, coins, old bank notes, books and even furniture. Antique dealer Nicholas Loughnan from Loughnan Antiques, South Main St was on hand to give his expert valuation on items that people had found hidden in their attic or sitting around the house. This annual fundraiser has proven to be an enjoyable event for all age groups, while raising much need funds to send the sick and invalids from the locality, on the annual diocesan pilgrimage to Lourdes, a time treasured by all for the peace and wellness it affords them.
