Fionnuala's new space

20/04/2022

OOPS. Somehow in all the crazy busyness of the last couple of months I've not managed to update this, I am very sorry about that.

well the big news is...... WE HAVE MOVED IN!!!! Fionnuala's new space is now part of our home. we are still setting things up exactly as we need them to function most efficiently for Fionnuala's needs but the main thing is that we are in and absolutely loving the extra space.

We managed to move in early March but with getting everything sorted and then a trio of horrible head colds (one each in turn) followed by Covid (thankfully just Liam and me, not Fionnuala) meant that I didn't get chance to let everyone know.

We are so immensely grateful for all the donations, all the support and all the help we have received over the last year. It means more than we could ever say.

I will put a few pictures up soon to give you an idea of how it all looks, but there won't be many more updates on this page. So simply, thank you all

And just like that the floors are finished! This gorgeous flooring was all supplied by EZ Doors and fitted by Fionnuala's uncle and Daddy 😀 we are getting ever closer to moving in 😁😁😁

Its Christmas Eve. Its been an amazing few months here and in a few more weeks we will be moving into the beautiful new space that has been created through the hard work and kindness of so many people. My heart is too full to adequately express how much everything people have done and all that has been donated means to us, so I will just say, on behalf of Liam, Fionnuala and myself, a huge thank you all, and may you and all those you love have a peaceful safe and Merry Christmas.

I have said many times over the course of the last few months how incredible it has been to see all the support for Fionnuala's new space. We have been constantly amazed by it.

The level of support - in so many ways - from our local community here in and around Oldcastle has been truly moving. I've said before that Oldcastle should be very proud of itself as a community for the way they have helped us. I was delighted to get that message into a national newspaper too.

'It’s like an Oldcastle version of that RTE SOS show. The kindness shown to us has been phenomenal'

We are so delighted to be able to publicly thank everyone who has worked on Fionnuala's new space, and especially to thank Michael Hetherton without whom it simply would not have happened.
