Special lunch to raise funds for €1m care centre

A €1 MILLION refurbishment of an Alzheimer and care for the elderly centre in Cork is due to be completed next March and a special fundraiser is being held to defray the cost.

Details of the lunch were announced yesterday by the St Luke’s Home Corporate Fundraising Committee at a function in the Irish Examiner’s offices at Lapp’s Quay.

Its 30-unit Alzheimer centre in Mahon is only one of a handful of such centres in the country and its care of patients has been highly acclaimed.
