His Excellence, Veselko Grubisic the Croatian Ambassador to Ireland will be the guest of honour and RTE’s  news anchor, Eileen Dunne will act as Master

“We are in the final process of finishing a village in Bosnia Herzegovina for the ethnically cleaned war victims with disabilities and profits from the concert will

help us on the final leg of this”, said Ms. Keane.
