Niall O’Carroll from Tralee was an avid Munster and Ireland rugby fan, and had planned to attend the Rugby World Cup Pool B game between Ireland and Scotland in Stade de France, Paris on October 7.

Sadly, Niall was diagnosed with cancer earlier this year, and following months of treatment in the Mercy Hospital, he died on August 26.

His family would like to raffle the 2 tickets for the match in aid of the Mercy University Hospital Foundation.

The tickets are Category 1, East Stand tickets.

The raffle will be held on Saturday September 16^th at 10PM, after the Ireland v Tonga game.

To enter the raffle, simply donate any amount over €20 (all donations large and small will be gratefully received!).

All proceeds go directly to Mercy University Hospital Foundation Cancer Appeal.

About the Charity:

Funds raised will help those who will, in the coming years, go through the tough journey that cancer presents, by funding key services and advancements in the treatment of and research into many cancers, and in particular the new Mercy Cancer CARE Centre, due for completion by the end of this year.

The Mercy Hospital Foundation’s mission is to support the hospital in delivering the highest quality of care to its patients. Funds raised through the Mercy University Hospital Foundation are used to purchase state-of-the-art equipment, to enhance and develop services and to help Hospital staff in providing a world-class service in a world-class hospital. The Foundation are currently fundraising towards state-of-the-art robotics equipment which will help patients by reducing pain, speeding up recovery time and therefore reducing the toll of hospital stays on patients.

We are also close to completing the Mercy Cancer CARE Centre. The Centre will provide a quiet and safe place for patients and their families to access an increasingly necessary range of services to support those affected both directly and indirectly by a cancer diagnosis. This includes our Psycho-oncology service which supports people as they come to terms with the many and complex psychological and emotional challenges Cancer can present. Psycho-oncology is fully funded from donations made to the Mercy Hospital Foundation.
