Cabinteely House (pictured) and Marlay House were illuminated in pink and blue on 15 October as we joined the global Wave of Light, a remembrance event held in honour of babies gone too soon and in support of all those affected by pregnancy and infant loss.

We remember the babies lost too soon and hold their families, friends and loved ones in our thoughts. By raising awareness and showing support, we honour the memory of every child and stand with all those affected by infant loss.
