Paul Newmans charitable legacy has yet again benefited Ireland with a €25,000 cheque to fund much-needed medical detox beds for drug addicts.
Ireland has long had a shortage of these facilities, with just 30 such beds in the country.
This is despite a heroin- using population in excess of 20,000 people, some 9,000 of whom are receiving methadone treatment.
Merchants Quay Ireland is the latest recipient from the Newman’s Own Foundation.
