The Paul Stafford Ball has become a firm fixture on the social calender and is now in its 4th year. It always draws a glam crowd to the Mansion House and this year was no exception. Kathryn Thomas did an excellent job as emcee for the evening, as she always does, and 20th Century Gold kept the dance floor hopping with a medley of every song you’ve ever loved.

The Paul Stafford Foundation was established in 2007 to raise awareness and address the serious issue of suicide in Ireland. It was founded by a group of people who were directly affected themselves by suicide and had lost someone they loved to this ever increasing problem. The whole thing was in aid of Turn The Tide on Suicide and its 1Life campaign, which has launched Ireland's first dedicated 24-hour suicide helpline.
