This issue of What’s On Clonmel was made possible by the generous support of our readers and sponsors Tipperary Museum of Hidden History, Fethard Ballroom and Fozzy’s Bar.
It costs over €8,000 a year to fund What’s On Clonmel, but donations are not always enough to cover our costs. Please help us continue this work with a donation, every bit helps!
