This innovative but simple scheme sees 15% of call costs being donated back to customers' preferred club or school, while at the same time saving them money on their home phone and Broadband bills. All 32 County Boards support the scheme which sees 2,500 Clubs around the country receive cheques from Gaelic Telecom twice a year. The amount raised by the 6 counties between January and June of this year is 110,000 euros.
