Jim O’Neill, Tirlán’s Chief Operating and Consumer Officer, who leads the team that organises the cycle fundraiser, said it was wonderful to see so many colleagues and farmer suppliers take part. “We are immersed in our communities and it is great to have the opportunity to give back. Over the years we have supported more than a dozen charities who have made a difference.”

Stephen Murphy, Director of Services, Father McGrath Centre, added: “As a small local charity, this support means so much. The investment is going directly into programmes for young people in the Butts area of Kilkenny — it’s a generational investment, and given our longstanding connection with Tirlán, it feels especially fitting.” Naoimh Murphy, Communication and Training Officer, Amber Women’s Refuge, said: “Thanks to the support from Tour de Tirlán, we’ve been able to begin construction on a brand-new playground at Amber Women’s Refuge. “Last year alone, we supported 60 women and their children through refuge services — so to everyone who took part in the cycle, thank you. Your efforts are making a real difference.” You can support the cyclists and the charities via www.idonate.ie/event/TourdeTirlan2025
