Domestic Violence Service to benefit from donation on behalf of local women

The Donegal Domestic Violence Service is set to benefit from a €500 donation from the Scotsman’s Bar in Donegal Town.

The generous donation was made by the bar owners Joseph Breslin and John Mc Groary this week on behalf of the Donegal Town Women’s Group.

The group gathered at the pub last Friday for a special morning with Donegal Domestic Violence Service Manager Marie Hainsworth. The event was an opportunity for the women and the Scotsman’s team to present the cheque and to learn more about the charity.
