About 12 years ago a number of formidable ladies in an ICA guild – the Leader of the House will know the type of person I mean – formed a group to fund raise for the establishment of a mammography service in Nenagh General Hospital. One of the group's members had developed breast cancer and, arising from their concern about this issue, the group started its fund raising campaign. As a result of the successful campaign a group called the Friends of Nenagh Hospital was established. This group is still in existence. It is a powerful lobby group on behalf of the hospital and has worked extremely hard to ensure that equipment is kept updated and that the staff and infrastructure of the hospital are supported. The group has been most successful in this.
