Una Burns, Head of Policy for Communications with Novas thanked all those involved in organising this event: “We are very grateful to the students for organising this lovely event for Novas. We are also thrilled to have John Shinnors officially launch the exhibition. The proceeds of events like this help us to extend our services to more marginalised people in our local communities throughout Limerick so fundraising and donations are very important to us.”
