Thanks to the Clare Champion who paid a visit to the clinic this week to do a feature. Mother Mary "Needles!" slipped quietly into retirement during Covid restrictions without getting a proper chance to say goodbye to the patients and families she had built up such a long relationship with. This article was a great look back on the hard work she put in to building up the clinic and an acknowledgement of the repore she and her assistant Irene Moloney (nee Coffee) RIP, had with everyone who visited over the years, while exploring the possibility of a 3rd generation of McNamara's working in Turnpike Clinic!
