Hi Folks, we will be completing the Business Collection for the Christmas before the end of the month Thanks for all your support over the festive season..

Happy Christmas from the Cashel Chamber. Here is a short reminder about the Christmas Lights Collection for 2017. We are asking for a Donation of €100 per business to help defray the cost of the lights. Heather Laffey will be visiting Cashel Businesses this week with a letter regarding funding the Christmas Lights. It costs over €10,000 to run the Christmas Lights each year, and the Chamber has to foot the majority of the bill, there is a subvention from Tipperary County Council , for which we are very grateful, but it does not cover the full costs. The lights will be running for 5 weeks over the Christmas period, and I am sure you will agree this is very good value for the Town. If you are unavailable when Heather visits your Business you can send your donation made payable to the Cashel Chamber of Commerce to: Aiden Hynes President Cashel Chamber of Commerce 41 Summercove Cashel
