PACO in The Mall Tralee was a hive of activity on Friday morning for a special fundraiser in aid of the Nano Nagle Special School in Listowel.
The coffee and fashion morning was well attended and two girls, Rachel O’Brien and Michelle Costello got chance to model for the audience present.
The ladies from The Glam Pod were also on hand for make-up demonstrations and there was plenty teas, coffees, cakes and scones from Brudair’s and Der O’Sullivan’s.

“The support we received today was phenomenal,” said Eileen Whelan of Paco. “The parents of the children modelling from Nano Nagle came here as well as people coming in of the street. If we could only help a few students by what we’re doing today it’s worth it,” said a delighted Eileen.
It was also an occasion to make a presentation to Carol Dooley who has been at Paco for a number of years, but is now taking a leave of absence.
