Kildare pharmacist retires after nearly 30 years in business

Thérèse Lawlor, much respected Pharmacist and owner of Daly’s Pharmacy, Main Street, Naas is retiring after almost three decades of tending to the health and wellbeing of the people of Naas.

Daly’s Pharmacy has the honour of being the oldest Pharmacy in Naas, being in operation for well over a hundred years, in one of the most beautiful buildings on Main Street.

Thérèse, originally a Carlow woman, took over at the helm in April 1997.

Thérèse’s caring nature and attention to detail, coupled with outstanding customer service, has earned her the consummate trust of the Naas community in matters medical and healthcare.

HANDLING A CRISIS

During the Covid crisis, she was ahead of other local businesses with her comprehensive customer protection screens installed so that her elderly patient base would feel comfortable and safe when they came to the pharmacy.

Thérèse worked tirelessly doing medicine deliveries and being a friendly face for her customers, many of whom were living alone.

Her commitment to public health was demonstrated in January 2020 when she sponsored the installation of the first Public Access AED machine on Naas Main Street mounted on the outer wall of the pharmacy.

'AN ABSOLUTE HONOUR'

Thérèse says "its been an absolute honour and privilege to serve the community of Naas for 28 years. Many of the customers I now regard as dear friends.”

She is looking forward to having the time to pursue her leisure interests of travel, playing bridge, book club and lowering her golf handicap!

Daly’s Pharmacy will continue to trade with the same friendly staff members under the new ownership of Pure Pharmacy Group, with lots of exciting changes and services to look forward to.
