Gallery: All the glamour from the charity event in aid of the Peter McVerry Trust at Killashee House Hotel

There were plenty of well-known faces in attendance at the special charity event that was organised in aid of the Peter McVerry Trust in the Killashee Hotel in Naas on Thursday night, and it looked like a great time was had by all.

The impetus behind the initiative comes from none other than self-made businesswoman Jackie Lavin. Speaking about the event, Lavin explained, “I set up a committee of Kildare girls a few years back with Margaret Beere, Aileen Morrin, Sheila Zebedee, Caroline O’Brien, Ber Lowe, Mary Dunne, Anna McMahon & Teresa Forde.

We’ve been running events for charity, such as St Vincent de Paul, ever since. This year, we’re delighted to be able to help Peter McVerry expand his homeless services in our county. Many local companies took tables for what was really fun and festive Party Night.  Patricia had those in attendance all rocking to her new band "City Chic".  Artistes Mundy & Paddy Casey played their unique style of music for such the great cause. Kathy Nugent  sung some Shirley Bassey while Lorraine Keane brought her own style and glamour to the night alongside Brian Purcell.”

Glamorous guests at the festivities included Rachel Allen, Clodagh Keane, Niall & Gillian Quinn, Simon Carmody and Guggi (who  kindly donated a painting for the Auction), Sara Owens, Jackie Lavin & Bill Cullen, Lorraine Keane & Peter Devlin, Singers Mundy, Paddy Casey, Patricia Roe & Kathy Nugent, TV3’s Andrea Hayes & Dave Torpey, Noleen McCreevey, Dick O’Sullivan from PunchestownRace Course,  Killashee House Hotel Proprietors Michael & Julianne McElligott, Denis Flannelly, Graham & Margaret Beere, Sheila & David Zebedee, Aileen & Tom Morrin, Attracta & David Mongey, BerLowe, Caroline O’Brien, Audrey & Conor O’Dwyer, Fiona O’Loughlin TD, Linda Blanchfield, Stella Johnson & Grainne Slattery to name but a few.
