Cel made the appeal in November because of the fund-raising hole caused by Covid-19 restrictions that forced the IEBA to cancel all its 2020 fundraising events. These included the Leopardstown Race day in March, the two-day IEBA summer golf days in Dublin and Cork and its main event, The Winter Ball.
The IEBA would normally raise around €60,000 from these events to help people in the electrical industry in need of assistance.
Cel praised the response from members and believes the final fund-raising total will be even higher.
