IT is believed that this year\u2019s Charity Week will raise in excess of \u20ac10,000, with student union officers thrilled with its overall success.<\/p>\n

Events and Promotions Manager Keith Quinlan and his fellow officers felt that the week was very well received by all involved.<\/p>\n

\u201cI really feel that Charity Week went well overall,\u201d Keith said. \u201cThe events themselves were very well attended, there seemed to be a good buzz around campus for the week, and thankfully we were fairly lucky with the weather as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe events have made a profit for charity, which is great. We\u2019re still counting the money, but I think that currently we are somewhere in the region of over \u20ac10,000.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAt least \u20ac9,500 of this tally was raised from student contributions to events such as the Shave or Dye, or the Nearly Naked Mile, so fair play and thank you to everyone who helped out during the week to do their bit for charity.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere wasn\u2019t much trouble in the estates thankfully,\u201d he added. \u201cBut if you compare it to the recent events in Galway, then it was very minor. The whole week went off very well.\u201d<\/p>\n

President of the University of Limerick Students Union, Derek Daly said that the total amount of money fundraising couldn\u2019t be officially confirmed at time of print.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe won’t have final figures until the end of next week, so we won’t be commenting until all monies have been collected and distribution allocated,\u201d the SU President added.<\/p>\n

Daly also explained that the level of the amount of damage done in local estates throughout the week had also decreased from last year.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn terms of damage, there were some issues in College Court,\u201d he said. \u201cHowever, overall across Castletroy, the levels of anti-social behaviour associated with Charity Week were greatly reduced on last year, which in turn was a reduction on the previous year.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI had one landlord from Elm Park come in to the Union to compliment students on their behaviour, which he described as no different from any town on the average Saturday night.\u201d<\/p>\n
