Pa Laide CEO of Cara Credit Union, said; “Lauri Healy was one of Tralee Credit Union’s founding directors who dedicated so much time and energy to Tralee Credit Union. Lauri was also active in his support and development of other credit unions in Kerry and further afield. He was a director with Tralee Credit Union for more than 30 years, he served with Chapter 23 for as many years and as a board member of the Irish League of Credit Unions helped shape the movement in its early days. The Lauri Healy Community Sponsorship Awards is a fitting tribute to Lauri how gave so much to his local community.”
The four community projects were presented with their funding by Lauri’s wife Marie and his close friend Mary O’Brien. For further information on the awards, visit www.caracreditunion.ie
