Speaking about the charity, O’Connell said,
“I have witnessed this in the care given to my sister over the last fifty years. Catherine is a very outgoing, good humoured, energetic lady with a smiley disposition who continues to thrive under the care and attention given to her by all the wonderful staff in Lisnagry. Funding is always needed to enhance and to continue this top class service provided to the residents.”
