Gweedore man Declan McBride hits the road in style with his brand-new 2024 Citroen e-C4!
Declan was the lucky winner of the national car raffle by the Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind.
The winning ticket was drawn in February by Pádraig O’Sullivan T.D.. The charity’s Chief Executive, Tim O’Mahony made contact with Declan who was overwhelmed with the good news. Declan happily collected the keys last week.
