What's the news?
Cork-based Toyota dealer, Cogans Carrigaline, has announced that it will continue its support of the Marymount Hospice with the delivery of two new Toyota Auris cars. By providing Marymount Hospice with the vehicles it enables the Community Palliative Care Team to travel around Cork city and county in order to provide care and treatment to patients in the comfort of their own homes.
Commenting on the donation of the cars, Managing Director of Cogans Carrigaline, Robert Cogan, said, "The team here at Marymount are providing a vital support to communities throughout Cork, as the cars will be used by community nurses to provide palliative care to patients who are seriously ill. It's great that Cogans can support this team as the work they carry out is invaluable."
