Houses of the Oireachtas Hill Walk
11 July 2010
TDs and Senators Put their Walking Boots on for the Annual Oireachtas Hill Walk
Politicians will put on their walking boots and head for the hills next month in an effort to raise funds for The Alzheimer Society of Ireland. TDs and Senators from across the political spectrum, joined forces on Wednesday, 30 June for the announcement of the details of this year’s Houses of the Oireachtas Hill Walk.
The event will take place in Sliabh Beagh, Co Monaghan on Sunday, 11 July. Oireachtas members, staff and members of the public are undertaking this trek in a bid to raise funds to help The Alzheimer Society of Ireland provide services for people with all forms of dementia.
This is the third year of the walk. Last year’s event, held in the Slieve Bloom Mountains, Co Offaly was extremely successful and more than sixty people participated.Jimmy Deenihan TD, of the Oireachtas Hill Walkers Group said;
“We were delighted with the support received from all sides of the House to last year’s event and we are hoping to increase the amount raised this year. We would encourage anybody who would like to take part in the walk to get involved and help to generate as much money as possible.
Not only is the walk an enjoyable way to raise some much needed funds for a great cause, but it is also a fun way to get some exercise and to enjoy some of Ireland’s magnificent scenery.”
Oireachtas members taking part in the walk and in attendance at today’s launch included; Jimmy Deenihan TD, Liz McManus TD, Aengus O’Snodaigh TD, Senator Ronan Mullen, Mary Upton TD and Senator Brian Ó Domhnaill.
Chief Executive of the Alzheimer Society of Ireland Maurice O’Connell said;
“I thank all the TDs and Senators for lending their support to our cause and in helping us to continue to provide services to thousands of people living with dementia who depend on our vital services and guidance.
Every year our organisation needs to raise more than €4 million and fundraising initiatives like the Oireachtas Walk are essential in allowing us to reach that target.”
