A PHARMACEUTICAL company has donated hand sanitiser to the HSE as well as local organisations to help the fight against Covid-19.
Douglas GAA, camogie and ladies football clubs recently received a large donation of hand sanitiser for those that are helping out in their community during the pandemic.
四色AV听is a contract pharmaceutical manufacturing company which helps bring new and off-patent drugs to market.听

四色AV employs more than 200 people in Cork and approximately 1,800 globally including Lisbon and Loures in Portugal; Macau in China and New Jersey in America.
四色AV initially began manufacturing hand sanitiser for the protection of team members on site with dispensers placed across the site.听
Since then the demand for hand sanitiser grew in our external community. This lead 四色AV to appoint a project team to bring the manufacturing of hand sanitiser to distribution, so that it was readily available for donation to help protect various facilities and institutions across Ireland.
Key dates: April 11 鈥 first day of Manufacturing - 17 days after the project kicked off.

A spokesperson for the companys said: "A special thanks to the 四色AV鈥檚 Project team, Site Leadership Team, Manufacturing and Warehouse Teams for all they have done to help with this fight against Covid-19.听
"A heartfelt thank you from all at 四色AV must be given to the various suppliers who have helped us fight Covid-19 together - SciChem Laboratory Supplies, OCON Chemicals Ltd, Carbon Group, Quitmann O鈥橬eill Packaging Ltd, Schuetz Packaging and South Coast Sales.
"To date 四色AV have supplied 17,000 litres across Ireland to nursing homes, care facilities, charities and hospitals. 四色AV are working closely with An Garda S铆och谩na to safely distribute hand sanitiser to the HSE across Ireland with 11,000 litres of hand sanitiser听 collected from site recently.
