Andrew said, “Rugby has taught me that teamwork, respect, and inclusion are what make the game great. The same is true in life. I am honoured to support Down Syndrome Limerick, and I’m excited to help champion their incredible work, starting with ringing in the New Year together.”

Down Syndrome Limerick is a family led charity based in Castletroy, providing early intervention, education, advocacy, and community programmes that support children and adults with Down syndrome as well as their families.

Michelle Coughlan, Chairperson Down Syndrome Limerick, said, “Andrew brings huge heart and energy to everything he does. We are delighted to have him join us and know he will help shine a light on the talents and achievements of our family members.”

The New Year’s Eve Ball is a black-tie celebration, featuring a prosecco reception, dinner, music, a glamorous countdown, and a special on-stage moment where Andrew will “blow the whistle” to welcome the New Year in style.
