AN upcoming event that very many children throughout Ireland are looking forward to is a combined concert and party that the Share a Dream Foundation will host in the RDS Concert Hall on Saturday, August 25. To celebrate 22 years of โ€œmaking dreams come trueโ€ for sick and disabled children, the national charity, with the support of the RDS in Dublin, will host the party and concert for over 1,000 children.

โ€œAll children, no matter what their physical capability have the right to play and have fun but not all children are so lucky,โ€ says a spokesperson for the charity.
โ€œThe sad reality is that so many of Irelandโ€™s beautiful children are denied this basic right and the very simplest of pleasure that our healthy children may take for granted, because of their terrible illness and disabilities.
โ€œDue to a lack of facilities these children and their families are denied the exciting opportunity to go to a real concert and enjoy once in a lifetime memories with their brothers and sisters, but Share a Dream wants to correct this and if they canโ€™t go to an established concert, then we are going to create a unique one for themโ€.
Promising a โ€œfantastic dayโ€ for all the children and their families who attend, the Share a Dream Foundationโ€™s founder, Shay Kinsella, says the concert will be hosed by Spin FMโ€™s Nikki Hayes and will be opened by the Lord Mayor of Dublin, Naoise O Muiri.
โ€œThe concert line-up will include Limerickโ€™s well known Hermitage Green and other acts including, Boyband Concept, The Reverse, Underground, Project 57 plus the Army, the Air Corps, the Gardaรญ, the Fire Brigade, face painters, magicians, puppet shows and so much more joining in on the day.
โ€œWe just want these kids to have a day to remember and the best thing is that itโ€™s completely free,โ€ concluded Shay.
