After a huge influx of donations from Newstalk listeners, the final figure raised during Wish Week has been revealed!
Over the course of the week, an incredible €245,000 was raised for Make-A-Wish Ireland, which will go towards granting life-changing wishes to children facing critical illnesses nationwide.
The Walt Disney Company Ireland has once again pledged €30,000 in matched funding, meaning every euro donated by the public will be doubled up to this amount.

This is Newstalk's third year partnering with Make-A-Wish Ireland.
Stories from the week showed just how meaningful these experiences can be to children and their families.
Every year, roughly 650 children receive the devastating news that they have a critical medical condition - but only one-third apply for a wish.
