Minister Liz McManus opens New Look Oxfam Ireland Bray Shop

Wicklow T.D. and Labour Deputy Leader Liz McManus today officially re-opened the popular and newly refurbished Oxfam Ireland shop at 8 Quinsboro Road, Bray.

The ceremony was also attended by Oxfam Ireland's Director Dr. Brian Scott, Retail Manager, Mr. Trevor Anderson, shop Manager Mary Rogers, and many of the local volunteers who have been running the charity shop since it first came to Bray more than 17 years ago.

'The new-look shop is a tribute to the hard work put in by the people of Bray over the years in supporting Oxfam's vital work overseas. I hope it continues for many years to come, ' said Minister McManus.

The newly-refurbished shop - which boasts bright and inviting décor - carries a complete new range of clothing for men, women and children including top-of-the range designer labels at rock- bottom prices.

Trevor Anderson, Manager of Oxfam Ireland's 44 shops countrywide said that he was 'absolutely delighted' with how well the shop had turned out and paid tribute to the volunteers who had put so much effort into the re-opening and into the running of the shop down through the years. 'The new look shop' Mr. Anderson said 'should help to ensure that Oxfam Ireland would be able to contribute even more to the developing world.'

Oxfam Ireland is a member of Oxfam International, a confederation of 12 Oxfam's worldwide. It works to alleviate poverty and suffering in the poorest countries throughout the world.
