Christmas lights for Ballybunion

Ballybunion Community Forum and the Ballybunion Tidy Towns are starting a GoFundMe to help fund the cost of the Christmas lights in Ballybunion. We estimate that the cost of funding for the Christmas lights to be in the region of 5,000 euro.

We have invested annually in a continuous replacement policy for the upgrading of the Town Lights due to the environment in town over the Christmas period. This is costly and requires continuous investment in the cables and bulbs. There is also the ongoing cost of insurance, the hire of a cherry picker (hoist) and the cost of erecting the lights and trees and taking them down. The good news is that all the bulbs are now "Led's" ( Light Emitting Diods) and are more resilient and more cost effective to run so the electrical power drain is minimal and more economical.

We are initiating this GoFundMe appeal to the townspeople and businesses of Ballybunion. With this support Ballybunion will have the Lights ,seasonal appearance and Christmas Spirit as usual.
