A WEST Kerry school has used the mellifluous sounds of its choir to great effect to raise funds for a vital service.

Coláiste Íde in Dingle launched their Christmas CD, ‘Dóchas na Nollag’ last Sunday at the school with all proceeds raised going to Pieta House.

The school choir and musicians have compiled this CD with the guidance and support of Densie Nic Diarmuide, music teacher in the school.

The CD includes a combination of Christmas carols, traditional and classical music, for example: An Cladach Creagach, Oíche Nollag, Ó Tair-se Chugainn Emmanuel, Coinnle an Linbh Íosa, Oíche Chiúin.

The cost of the CD is €8 and is available from Coláiste íde, call 066-9151211 or email info@colaisteide.com
