A KERRY businessman spread some Christmas cheer to children at University Hospital Kerry on Christmas Day.
Kevin Ross of Balloons le Grá, the balloon business with stores in Manor West Shopping Centre, Abbeyfeale and Arthur’s Quay Shopping Centre in Limerick City took the initiative to visit UHK to bring smiles to the faces of children who couldn’t be home for Christmas.
Kevin and a few members of his team handed out festive balloons to the children at the hospital. Kevin made special stops at the Cashel ward (children’s ward) and Emily ward (neonatal), where the newest members of the community are welcomed into the world.

The aim was not only to put a smile on the faces of the little ones but also to bring comfort and joy to the new moms and dads who couldn’t bring their little ones home for Christmas.
“It’s only something small, even if I had only seen one child smile today, I was happy,” said Kevin. “I’d like to say a huge thanks to Mary Fitzgerald, General Manager of UHK, for approving this. It certainly brought smiles, so that’s good enough for me.”
