Carrigallen Macra raises €8000 to support anti-bullying project

A Leitrim  rural youth group has raised over €8,000 for the "Be Buddies Not Bullies" campaign.

It was set-up in memory of the late Eden Heaslip to raise money for Irish anti-bullying charities in his name.

Carrigallen Macra organised a tractor run on the 2nd of January.

Money raised from this usually goes to a local charity, but Carrigallen Macra's secretary, Sinead O'Reilly, told the Joe Finnegan Show everyone was in agreement that the money should go to the Eden Heaslip initiative.
