It may be a long way
from Clare to here…but that won't bother Leon
McMahon who has won a four-bedroom luxury house in
Inishowen.
The 25-year old from Ennis, scooped the top prize in
the Drumfries Community Centre Association grand
draw on Saturday night.
He was stunned when a member of the committee rang
him to say his €20 ticket had been picked out and
that he was now the proud owner of 33 Cherry Avenue,
Tiernaleague, Carndonagh.

"My horse fell in
Saturday's Grand National and I was just saying to
people how I had no luck at all. I'm really gob
smacked about the whole thing," he said.
Leon, who rents in Dublin where he works for the ESB,
is planning a trip to Inishowen this weekend to get
the keys to his new property. |

He will no doubt have
hours of pleasure wondering what he'll do with his
beautiful new place.
At 1550 square feet including garage, the house,
built by GDC Property Developers Ireland Ltd., is
beautifully designed and finished. It comes with a
fitted kitchen including fridge freezer and
dishwasher, broadband enabled telephone points and
fitted fireplace, to name just some of the extras.
Meanwhile, the hardworking 20-strong committee
raised a total of €370,000 euro from the fundraiser
and with the house costing them a discounted rate of
€200,000, they now have €170,000 to spend building a
much-needed youth and community centre for the
children of Drumfries. They thanked everyone in
Inishowen who bought tickets and helped them reach
their target.
Five further winners of €100 euro each were Brid and
David O'Brien, Burnfoot; Darren McKeever, Muff;
Charlene Donnelly; Ann, Marion and Dennis Duggan
from Scotland and Ivan Thompson from Kesh in Co.
Fermanagh. |
