IFA’S € 3,850 DONATION

At a recently well attended event, the Manorhamilton IFA Branch staged its presentation ceremony for the donation of the proceeds of the highly successful 2017 New Year’s Day Tractorcade to Our Lady’s Day Hospital representatives in Heraghty’s Bar.

The New Year’s Day Tractorcade raised a fantastic sum of € 3,850 and a cheque for that amount was presented to Our Lady’s Day Hospital representatives and Nurses, Mary McShane, Leanne Cullen and Mary Harkin, who were deputising for Our Lady’s Hospital Director Nursing, Elaine McPartland.

Mary McShane thanked Manorhamilton IFA for its generous donation, which was greatly appreciated. Mary also stated it would enable the Day Hospital to immensely enhance the level of treatment it provides for its patients. Two pressure relieving chairs will be purchased by the Day Hospital for the patients use.
