Hospice warns over door-to-door bogus collectors

One of the country’s best-known hospices issued a warning last night about bogus collectors using its name for door-to-door collections.

Marymount University Hospice in Cork said it has been made aware that individuals have been calling door-to-door in some parts of Cork City claiming to be collecting money for Marymount — one of Cork’s best-supported cancer support agencies.

Calls have come in from Ballincollig, Bishopstown, and the Wellington Rd area of the city.
