Women’s Day gives us all a real opportunity to take a bit of time out of our day to pause and reflect on all the wonderful achievements of all of the women in our community. We were especially delighted to be joined by some of our Polish friends and hear from them about the vibrant Polish community in Rush.” Rush Community Centre Manager Debbie Donnelly said, “It was a great event and we were delighted to be able to host it with Rush Parent and Toddler Group and it was great of Fingal County Council to provide the funding.
