CONCERN’S Chief Executive Dominic MacSorley, who is just back from visiting Concern projects in Sierra Leone and Liberia, will speak at the Grand Hotel in Denny Street in Tralee on Thursday, October 16.

Over 3,000 people have died in Liberia and Sierra Leone from Ebola, which is now an epidemic with global consequences.

The evening begins at 7.30pm. It is also an occasion for Concern to thank people for their generous support and to inform them of the work Concern is doing in the 27 of the world’s poorest countries where it is working.

Michael Commane, who works in the press office of Concern and is a columnist with The Kerryman, will give a short talk on a visit he made to Concern programmes in Zambia.

Solicitor Maura Hennessy will host the evening.
