Delighted to support Accessible Counselling Tullamore with this project and hopefully the funds raised will help in some way with the fantastic work that they do.

We would like to sincerely thank Tullamore & District Rotary Club for their incredibly generous €1,000 donation raised through the beautiful Remembrance Tree in the Bridge Centre before Christmas.

The Remembrance Tree is such a special and meaningful initiative — a place of reflection and remembrance for so many people in our community. Its significance goes far beyond Christmas, and we are deeply grateful to be supported through something so thoughtful and symbolic.

The kindness of Tullamore Rotary and everyone that supported the initiative will help us continue to provide accessible counselling and support to those who need it most.

We are truly thankful for your generosity and for the compassion that the Remembrance Tree represents.

Tullamore Rotary Presents Cheque to Accessible Counselling Tullamore

Tullamore and District Rotary Club recently presented a cheque to Accessible Counselling Tullamore (ACT), representing the proceeds of the Club’s successful Remembrance Tree project.
The Remembrance Tree, which was displayed in the Bridge Centre Shopping Centre in the days prior to Christmas, invited members of the public to remember loved ones while supporting a vital local service. The initiative received strong community support, with all funds raised going directly to ACT to assist in the provision of affordable and accessible counselling services in the Tullamore area.

Speaking at the cheque presentation, David Gleeson, President of Tullamore and District Rotary Club thanked the local community for their generosity and continued support of Rotary projects, noting that ACT plays a crucial role in supporting mental health and wellbeing locally.

ACT expressed its sincere appreciation to the Rotary Club and to everyone who contributed to the Remembrance Tree, highlighting the positive impact the funds will have on individuals and families accessing counselling services.

Many thanks to Gearoid Keegan Tullamore Tribune for covering our 2025 road safety event in Tullamore College. The presentations and personal reflections were very impactful. Seeing the live demo by the emergency services was jaw-dropping. Our event ran less than one week after five lives were lost in just one road traffic accident. As we post, reports are emerging of another multiple fatality crash on Irish roads. Together, as a community, we need to take action. Rotary Ireland Tullamore Credit Union Ltd

Today marks one year since we received the devastating news of the passing of Paddy Dunican. Paddy was a founding member of our club in 2015 and served as Vice President from 2022-2023, taking chain of office as President in 2023. A tireless and dedicated volunteer, he especially made his mark with our annual road safety campaign, elevating it to national status. He was instrumental in our community led submission to the third national strategy on Domestic, Sexual and Gender Based Violence and in the Ambassador Programme for tourism in the region. First and foremost he was a friend to many. Paddy enjoyed making high-level networking connections but he lived for the close friendships he forged with people. He is deeply missed by all in our club.
That best portion of a good man's life, his little nameless unremembered acts of kindness and of love. — William Wordsworth

Founders Friday 2025 #2 with Rotarian Dominic Doheny. What a privilege it was to listen to the story of one of the midlands’ most accomplished business leaders in Eugene Kelly's. The fireside chat with Dominic Doheny, Managing Director of John Flanagan Developments and a past-President of the Construction Industry Federation also featured Rotarian Ronan Berry as Master of Ceremony for the evening. It proved to be a stunning exploration of business resilience and diversification, high performing team building and business, community and self leadership. The sold out event is organised by David Gleeson and the team in Allpro Recruitment and we were delighted to welcome District Governor Rotary Ireland Seamus Parle to visit our club. Fellow Rotarian Tony McCormack TD was also in attendance as was Tom Doyle, our speaker from last months event. On the evening, club President Breda Colgan was delighted to present a cheque for €1,000 to teams from Sacred Heart School Tullamore and Colaiste Choilm to their VEX Robotics teams as they prepare to represent the county at the world finals in Dallas next month.
