GABLE

In Memory of Terry McGonigle

Staff at GABLE are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Terry McGonigle.

We have had the privilege of working alongside Terry, Michael and Aisling for over 25 years, and we are truly heartbroken by this very sad news.

The girls in the office always enjoyed the craic and banter with Terry. He had a great way of keeping us all going and bringing laughter to the office. We will especially miss his prank phone calls and the way he could have us all wondering what was going on! He certainly kept us entertained and was always able to put a smile on our faces.

Terry was a familiar and much-loved part of our working lives for so many years, and his absence will be deeply felt by everyone at GABLE.

Our sincere condolences go to Michael, Terry’s family, friends and all who knew and loved him at this very difficult time.

Rest in peace, Terry. You will be sadly missed. 💙

💙 Helping Hands – Making a Difference 💙

We’re delighted to share another wonderful testimonial from one of our Helping Hands service users! 🏡✨

“I am very happy with the work that was carried out. Adam did a great job. The handrail and grab rail are helping me to access my property safely and independently. This service is great for people in my situation, and knowing that GABLE is there to help me whenever I need it gives me peace of mind.”

A huge thank you for your kind words! ❤️ It’s fantastic to know that the work completed by our Handyman, Adam, is helping make accessing the home safer and more independent.

At GABLE, we’re here to help make everyday life a little easier. 🙌

It’s fantastic to hear how a simple adaptation can make such a big difference to someone’s safety, confidence and independence at home. 🙌
