"I would like to thank O’Donnellan & Joyce for their great help to Temple Street Children's Hospital in the Charity Ball during the Galway Races. They did a great job in getting badly needed funds for Temple Street and made sure there was a bidding frenzy with great entertainment. I’d like to thank Colm O’Donnellan, the auctioneer, who is a master of the traditional skills of his profession and his showmanship with both the microphone and hammer were a real highlight of the night!"
- Temple Street Childrens' Hospital

"Colm O'Donnellan of O'Donnellan & Joyce auctioneers conducted an auction at a charity ball for Foundation Nepal, which raised several thousand euro toward our work in the remote Himalayas; supporting women and children with food production, education, micro finance and small businesses, giving them a hand up - not a hand out. We very much appreciate all the kindness of O'Donnellan & Joyce, and are deeply indebted for their help and generosity."
- Foundation Nepal

"Positive Mental Health Group would like to thank O'Donnellan & Joyce for all the support they gave to our charity BBQ and auction this summer; We wish them every success in the future."

"Special guests and I performed to a packed house in Monroe's, Galway recently to raise money for AHAR (Animal Heaven, Animal Rescue), of which I am a patron. While there were many stars on stage, but the biggest hit of the night by far was auctioneer Colm O'Donnellan. The audience absolutely loved Colm's hilarious but very professional charity auction, and he achieved phenomenal prices on all items and much needed funds for AHAR. I would love to have Colm perform at all my shows!"
- Ms. Sharon Shannon, Musician, AHAR

"The team at O'Donnellan & Joyce have been of tremendous support to Cancer Care West over the past few years. O'Donnellan & Joyce have conducted numerous charity auctions at gala balls, all of which were conducted with tremendous professionalism and enthusiasm, raising substantial funds to allow Cancer Care West support cancer patients and their families. We are very grateful to the huge voluntary contribution that the team at O'Donnellan & Joyce have made to Cancer Care West, and look forward to working with them in the future."
- Mr. David O'Donnell, Regional Manager, Cancer Care West

"Irish Friends of Albania is very greatful to Colm O'Donnellan and his team at O'Donnellan & Joyce for their unstinting support, generosity and professionalism at our Charity Auctions since 2008 to the present day. Irish Friends of Albania raises much needed funds to assist patients and children in need in Albania. We work through volunteer teams of medics, builders and fundraisers. Colm does a wonderful job at our Charity Auction, which is held at our annual Charity Ball each October. He regales the audience on the night, presents the items in all their glory and reminds us all of the value of the funds raised to those in need. He never fails to achieve top prices for beautiful prizes donated by the artistic and business community to our cause.
For commitment and professionalism with friendliness and sincerity, thanks from all you have helped."
- Mr. Jack McCann, Plastic Surgeon, Chairman of Irish Friends of Albania

"I have been associated with Cancer Care West for the last 10 years, and in that time I have been involved in a number of charity events. At a recent black tie event, Colm O'Donnellan conducted our charity auction. He has helped us out for many years, but this year he was outstanding - entertaining and witty, and guaranteed the maximum bid for every item in the nicest possible way. I would like to thank Colm sincerely for contributing so much to Cancer Care West."
- Ms. Caitriona Hartmann, Director of A Hartmann & Co Jewellers.
