"Covering the Munster Region gives me the opportunity to meet some fantastically generous people, but there’s no place like home. For the crack and helping to keep the Fun in FUNdraising there’s nothing like Cork. In terms of response to any appeal, whether it’s signing up for CPR, running a FAST campaign, attending our free mobile health unit or donating to one of our calls for research support, no one beats the Corkonians for their big-heartedness", Anne Riordan, Irish Heart Foundation shares with us what she likes about doing business in Cork.
