A school is saving cash-strapped parents hundreds of euro by offering First Holy Communion dresses and suits to children for free.
Hundreds of dresses, suits, veils, shoes and bags were snapped up over the weekend by parents, many of whom were astonished when they discovered there was no charge on the complete outfits.
The event was organised by the parents association of St Declan’s National School in Ashbourne, Co Meath, who had been collecting donations of pre-loved dresses and suits over the past year.
