The Oireachtas Christmas Charity Fundraiser promises an exciting evening celebrating Ireland’s home-grown design talent, while also offering an opportunity to support a very worthy cause – all while enjoying the novel spectacle of Irish politicians in a spotlight of a very different kind to their usual!
