It was announced today that €12,000 has been raised by staff of ESB International for charity with the proceeds going to causes nominated by the staff themselves. 
 
The money was raised through a range of staff functions that were hosted by ESB International. In total, twenty different charities will receive a donation – all of them nominated by participating staff.
