Dear Readers,
I was watching the Late Late show last night, and there was a feature about suicide in Ireland,
and the role of Pieta House in Dublin.. Pieta House, Lucan Road, Lucan, Co. Dublin
Tel: +353 (01) 601 0000 | Email: mary@pieta.ie
Their facebook page is here and here is a link to their website.
This song was recorded in aid of Pieta House, to raise awareness of their work and raise much needed funds.
It
features Ministers, Senators and TDs from across the Irish political
spectrum. All are current members of the Oireachtas (Irish Parliament). None
of them had ever sung before but they were willing to take part to
support the great work done by Pieta House, luckily the song also
features the talent and wonderful voices of the Lucan and Dublin Gospel
Choirs.Please support Pieta House by sharing this video and
downloading the song from iTunes or donations can be made here
All the proceeds from the sale of the
single goes directly to the charity.
