Golfer Rory McIlroy is being praised for a charitable donation that will benefit families in Clare and throughout the coutnry.
McIlroy's foundation has donated 317 thousand euro to the Jack and Jill charity which provides nursing care and supports to children with severe neurological issues, as well as respite care to their families.
The money, part of McIlroy's winnings at the Irish Open, will allow the amount of care to be increased, equating to just under 500 hours of home nursing care for seven families in Clare alone.
Ennis woman Mags Naughten is a nurse with Jack and Jill, and says it will make a big difference.
