Donna and her crew have provided fantastic support to all of us in Mountnugent GAA whether it through generous sponsorship or individually to our members.

The pharmacy is owned by Donna McQuaid, who has been running it for over 20 years. The pharmacy adjoins the Oldcastle Court Hotel, whose owner had previously enquired with authorities about using it as an IPAS centre.

Local Sinn Féin TD Johnny Guirke condemned the attack saying that this cowardly act has no place in Oldcastle and must be unequivocally rejected by everyone who lives there.
