Gan Bronntanas a Thabhairt!
De dheasca an aeráid eacnamaíochta, iarraimíd ort gan bronntanas Nollaig a thabhairt do na baill foirne.
TáCumann Naomh Uinseann de Phól ,Bóthar BhaileÁthaCliath , Portlaoise (in aice an tséipéil), ag glacadh le gach saghas bronntanais nó airgead le tabhairt do dhaoine bhochta nó daoine a d’fhulaing le linn na tuilte uisce, le déanaí.
Due to the current economic climate, we, the staff of GaelscoilPhortlaoise, will not be accepting Christmas presents from children.
If you wish to donate to a worthy cause, we ask that you consider St Vincent De Paul’s Christmas Collection, Dublin Road, Portlaoise (across from the church).
St Vincent de Paul is currently collecting clothes, blankets, toys, food, drink, money etc for victims of poverty and flood victims. Your generosity has always been appreciated.
