Praising the Camlough man’s efforts, Pat said, “Roy is a great example, a day at a time, of the work of Sr Consilio and Cuan Mhuire.

“For many years now he has raised much-needed funds and helps and supports the ongoing work of Cuan Mhuire as a volunteer.

“He, myself and many others are also involved in the “Friends of Cuan Mhuire” groups of ordinary people who come together to support and help each other on our journey of recovery.

“Every town in Ireland is impacted by addiction, the Recovery Program is only half the battle.
