Roscrea family put on dazzling Christmas light show for Hospice

The O'Meara family have lit up their home for charity this Christmas, with a stunning display of Christmas cheer sure to raise the hearts of everyone who visits.

The Roscrea family, who live in Cluain Ard, are well known for putting on a dazzling display of Christmas lights every year and use the beacon of Christmas cheer to collect money for charity.

“This year we are collecting for the Roscrea Branch of the North Tipp Hospice - please throw the change out of the car if passing to have a look”, Claire O'Meara said inviting people on social media to drive-by and see the lights and contribute to a great cause by putting money in the buckets outside the home.

The North Tipp Hospice Movement is a non-profit organisation that supports the development of hospice/palliative care in the North Tipperary area. They help support patients and their families through treatment and provision of equipment such as specialist beds, chairs and mattresses.

The amazing display attracts lots of visitors and children love the Christmas lights

Hospice emphasises palliative rather than curative treatment; quality rather than quantity of life.
The dying are comforted. Professional medical care is given, and sophisticated symptom relief provided.

"The patient and family are both included in the care plan and emotional, spiritual and practical support is given based on the patient’s wishes and family’s needs”, Claire O'Meara explained and invited everyone to visit the display and give generously.
