"It was lovely returning to the swing of things last year, we had to stop holding the parties for five years during the pandemic," Mr Lacey explained.
"We really enjoyed it, the hotel was lovely and there was great entertainment. We hope that the party is back for good now," he said.
The group was founded by Peter Reddin and Dickie Byrne, with Mr Lacey involved in the group since 1972.
"This year we will have music from Billy White," he said.
The 59th annual POPA Senior Citizens Christmas Party will take place in the Killeshin Hotel on Sunday January 11 2026, with dinner at 2pm.
The event is exclusive to Portlaoise Parish members, aged 65+.
