A STALWART of the Kerry Hospice Foundation, Mairead Fernane, has retired from duties after 15 years.

Mairead got involved in the Foundation in 2006 and was treasurer since 2015. She said the decision to step down was a difficult one and it was a huge privilege to work for such a worthy cause.

“It has been inspiring to know that the efforts of the volunteers has enable the qualified and caring staff in Suaimhneas, the Day Unit, the Instay Care Unit and hospitals throughout the county to offer genuine care to those who need it,” she said.
