ISPCA to benefit from €200k bequest

THE country’s endangered cats and dogs are set to receive a €200,000 windfall after a late Clare GP bequeathed her home and surgery to the Irish Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ISPCA).

Tomorrow at the Falls Hotel in Ennistymon, the property of Dr Maura Lernihan in Lisdoonvarna is set to go under the hammer at a public auction.

ISPCA chief executive Noel Griffin yesterday paid tribute to the “wonderful act” by Dr Lernihan.
