Thomas Wins A Home In Kildare

Congratulations to Thomas O’Brien from Ashbourne, Co. Meath who tonight (Monday, December 30th) won a new house at Station Walk, Newbridge, Co. Kildare worth €360,000 courtesy of Club Rossie, the commercial arm of Roscommon GAA and our partner Ballymore.

The Draw which was held in the Hodson Bay Hotel, Athlone was independently observed by PwC and broadcast live on Facebook (recording available at https://facebook.com/roscommongaa) .

WinAHomeInKildare was the latest in a series of fundraisers undertaken by Roscommon GAA following similar draws for homes in Dublin and London. This time around, funds raised from the Draw will be used to commence the development of the Dermot Earley Centre of Excellence and to help implement the strategic plan of Roscommon GAA which includes the continued development of King & Moffatt Dr. Hyde Park.

Having supported Mayo Roscommon Hospice and The London Irish Centre in previous fundraisers, this time Roscommon GAA will be making a contribution to ONE (The Organisation of National Ex-Service Personnel). The charity provides support and advocacy for ex-service personnel of the Irish Defence Forces, including accommodation for homeless veterans. ONE was selected as the charity partner as it is a cause close to the Earley family’s heart from Dermot’s time in the Defence Forces through to the present day.

Roscommon GAA and Club Rossie are deeply grateful to everyone from Ireland and abroad (including purchasers from 27 countries) who took part in tonight’s draw. Your support will make a very positive impact on the future of Roscommon GAA and the development of the  Dermot Earley Centre of Excellence. 

Further details of the draw will be published in due course.
