THE Galtee Foxhounds are known to be a very generous hunt club who regularly host very worthy fundraisers. Last weekend was no different and on Saturday, July 11th, the hunt club held a Shave or Dye event in aid of a fundraiser for a local man recently diagnosed with motor neuron disease.

The event was held in Kilbehenny Community Centre and a great evening was had by all, abiding by all the social distancing protocols of course.

Currently the fundraiser has raised over €5,000 in aid of Jer Spilliane and his wife and two children, who now need to completely renovate their house and make it adaptable for future living.

Huntsman Kevin Casey thanked the hunt club and the community who so generously supported the Spillane family during this difficult time. A huge thank you to everyone who also took part in the shaving and dying of their hair!

The Go Fund Me page is still open to donations and you can support it via or the Galtee Foxhounds Facebook page: Galtee Foxhounds.
