The Cavan-Monaghan Palliative Care Fund, which is this year, celebrating 30 years of service, is to be honoured with a reception.
Members of Cavan County Council were united in their praise of the local charity at this week's monthly meeting.
Started in 1993 by Jimmy O'Donnell from Belturbet, the fund initially set itself the target of raising money for the purchase of equipment for the newly-formed Palliative Care Team for County Cavan.
In 1999, the Palliative Care Team's remit was expanded to include County Monaghan and thus the Fund became the Cavan-Monaghan Palliative Care Fund.
Describing the service provided by the local group as "exemplary", Cathaoirleach Phillip Brady responded to a proposal from Councillor Shane P. O'Reilly to host an event in the fund's honour saying it was "a great proposal"
The chairperson undertook to see that Cavan County Council will now extend an invitation to Cavan-Monaghan Palliative Fund.
