Thug muid lánsuim de €16,622 síntiús don chiste 'Kevin Bell Repatriation fund'. Rinne muid an bronnadh seo i gcuimhne ar Barry Ó Breasláin as Srath Laoill, Cill Chartha, cailleadh é i dtimpiste ina áit oibre i bPerth san Astráil beagnach bliain ó shin.
Chomóir muid lá a bháis Barry le siúlóid urraíochta, agus bhailigh muid airgid i mboscaí bailiúcháin ar feadh ceithre uair an chloig fosta. Chuid muid sólaistí ar fáil i dTamhaigh sa chlubtheach CLG Chill Chartha ina dhiadh. Rinne muid slua-chistiú ar líne le Go Fund mé chomh maith.
D'éirigh muid go maith leis an bhfeachtas seo i ndilchuimhne ar Barry, agus ba mhaith linn ár mbuíochas a ghabháil d'achan duine a thacaigh linn ó achan cearn den domhan - Go raibh míle maith agaibh uilig.

Today we made the presentation to The Kevin Bell Repatriation Fund in the sum of €16,622. The presentation was in memory of the late Barry Breslin, Straleel, Kilcar who lost his life in a work place accident in Perth, Australia just over a year ago.
To mark Barry's first anniversary a sponsored walk was arranged and bucket collections were carried out over a four hour period. Refreshments were served afterwards in the Clubhouse in Towney. A Go Fund Me Page was also set up.
This has been the most successful fundraiser and I would like to thank everyone from far and near who supported the cause.
