donation

Ballyshannon Men’s Shed has kindly donated bird boxes to be placed in suitable locations around Sligo University Hospital, for the enjoyment of both patients and staff.

The hospital is a participant in An Taisce’s Green-Campus Programme which aims to foster environmental awareness in everyday activities while also enhancing sustainability under a number of themes such as energy, litter/waste and biodiversity.

Ms Carmel Diver and Mrs Agnes Diver from Milford, County Donegal, presented a cheque for €3,000 to Ms Catherine Dowling, Consultant Urological Surgeon at University Hospital Galway in memory of their father and husband John Diver who had been a patient at the hospital under the care of Ms Dowling.

The money was raised through a charity clay pigeon shoot organised by Mulroy Clay Pigeon club in Milford; John founded and ran the club very successfully until he got sick.
