Inspiring resilience shines through in Deirdre O’Rourke’s nomination.

Deirdre is Supervising Pharmacist at Adrian Dunne Pharmacy in Kilbarrack.

At just 41, her nominee, a stroke survivor living with aphasia, reflects on the journey that began when she was 37, shortly after the birth of her son. Navigating life with aphasia brings unique challenges, but having the support of compassionate healthcare professionals has made an immense difference. Lisa shares that, throughout her experience, Deirdre and her team have been nothing short of exceptional: “Simple things like aphasia support were always there for me!”

Reflecting on the impact Deirdre has had, her nominee describes her as a pharmacist who goes the extra mile. “I couldn’t put it into words about Deirdre,” she says. “She is the kindest and most caring chemist I have ever met.” For her nominee, Deirdre’s genuine care and patient approach are invaluable, making a meaningful difference in her life.

Deirdre ensures that every visit feels unhurried, offering detailed explanations for each medication and always willing to repeat information as often as needed.

“Nothing is an issue for her,” she continues. This commitment means that Deirdre’s pharmacy has become more than a place to pick up prescriptions—it’s a place where customers and patients feel truly supported and seen. Deirdre’s kindness and patience are a reminder of the profound impact that compassionate care can have on a person’s journey to healing and adaptation.

Deirdre said on receiving her nomination, “In Kilbarrack, a community known for its closeknit nature, being recognised for my contributions is a meaningful honour, especially I have only recently become part of the community over the last few years,” she shared, reflecting on the pride that comes with being appreciated by her patients.

Central to this appreciation is the personal connection built with customers. Deirdre notes that these relationships are the most rewarding part of the job, as each customer genuinely values the familiarity and personal care they receive from the team.

“Getting to know the customers is definitely the most rewarding aspect of my work here; they really appreciate being known by the team,” she said.
