PHIL COULTER UPDATE
A Message from Ashbourne Lions Club:
Following recent Government guidelines and in consultation with The Pillo Hotel and Phil Coulter, it is with great regret that we have to announce the postponement of the upcoming Clann Ceoil Charity concert.
We understand that you have been looking forward to what would have been an amazing night. Similarly our charity partners and beneficiaries are equally disappointed.
However, we must follow Government guidelines and keep the safety of all our patrons, supporters and volunteers to the fore.
We remain in contact with Phil Coulter to identify the earliest possible date to hold the concert and we will share the date as soon as it is confirmed.
As a group we are so disappointed and would like to thank each and every one of you for your incredible patience and support thus far.
For now, we would like to wish you a Very Happy Christmas and a Healthy and Peaceful New Year.
