A young girl from West Cork has been praised for her generosity after she donated her confirmation money to a local hospital.
Libby Fallon-Faley was supposed to make her confirmation last week but due to the ongoing Covid-19 crisis, the ceremony was postponed.
Libby still received confirmation money from family and friends but in what was a wonderfully generous gesture, the 11-year-old decided to donate the money to Bandon Community Hospital.
Local Gardai assisted in delivering the kind gift to the hospital over the weekend.
