Hi, my name is Deirdre Healy and I have been Secretary of Blarney Vintage Club since 1999. I have a very strong interest in all things community related and am involved in a range of community activities, including being an active member of Blarney Community First Responders and Chair of the Alzheimer’s Society of Ireland Fundraising Committee in Bessboro.

I am heavily involved in running a range of events throughout each year, my favourite of which is the Classic and Vintage Car Show that brings together over 100 classic cars in Blarney village to raise money for charity.
