Duais an Uachtaráin 2014 – FOB

My heartfelt thanks to everyone who played in my President's Prizes in Sligo at the weekend.  I am deeply humbled that so many of you came to play in this event and broke all entry records in the process!  My thanks also to those who were unable to attend but who nevertheless sent their good wishes.  Congrats to all the winners and I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend.  My personal thanks to my local Sligo team (headed by Mairéad and Frank) who worked extremely hard before, during and after the event to make sure that all our visitors were looked after.
