“What an achievement,” organiser Kathy O’Connor posted. “Thank you to each and every volunteer that helped out this year to make both Christmas Day and New Year's Day such a success. Thanks to the Chamber of Commerce, the Church of Ireland for the use of their hall, Dom's Pier 1 in Donegal town and chefs Simon and Rob for the dinners, soup and desserts. Happy New Year to all.”
