Cork crime: Persistent and sometimes violent crime now routine for city pharmacists
Pat Dalton: 'Crime — persistent, often aggressive, and sometimes violent — has become an unfortunate and routine part of daily life in many pharmacies, including my own.' File picture: Tony O'Connell
As a pharmacist operating in North Main St in Cork, I have always believed that our primary role is to provide accessible, professional healthcare to all who walk through our doors.
We are often the first point of contact for patients, delivering everything from life-saving medications to simple advice. Pharmacies are medicine experts and serve as a trusted presence in every town and village across Ireland — embedded in the heart of our communities.
