MINI May convoy for charity

by Trish Whelan. Seventy MINIs in convoy started their annual May weekend run from Kevin O’Leary Motor Group, Cork yesterday afternoon.

Now in its sixth year, the MINI run includes, spectacular scenery, partying, Irish hospitality and lots of fun!

After parading through Co Cork and over several mountain passes, including Borlin and Healy Pass, they ended up in Kenmare last night. Over the weekend they continue over Molls gap through 'Black Valley' and 'Gap of Dunloe’, cross the Shannon ferry to Co Clare, do the 'Cliffs of Moher' and ' Black Head ' and then on to Galway and out to Clifden.

En route the MINI crew collects for Our Lady’s Hospital, Crumlin and last year succeeded in collecting over €27,000.
