Since 1953, Sheahan’s Pharmacy Killarney has been located on 34 Main Street and has provided the people of the town with all of their pharmaceutical needs, caring for their health and wellbeing in the process. Founded by the late Donal (Donie) Sheahan MPSI his late wife Carmel (nee Dowling) who lived over the pharmacy for many years. Simpler times but many called it a South Doc before it’s time where people would knock on their door in the middle of the night or on a Sunday and Donie always looked after them. The running of the pharmacy was interwoven with the daily life of the Sheahan family, and it was no surprise when their son Liam joined the family business in later years developing the ethos of Family, Tradition & Care.
In late 2018, Pharmadirect.ie was launched as the online pharmacy that never closes. It brought our business online serving customers throughout Ireland with the same ethos that exists when people visit us instore. Following an extensive renovation in 2023, the store now offers an expanded and improved offering of over-the-counter medications, vitamins, first aid, footcare, dental, haircare, fragrances, cosmetics, electrical and much more in addition to the highly specialised dispensing services we have always offered such as dispensing General Medical Services (GMS), Drug Payment Scheme (DPS) and Long Term Illness (LTI) scheme prescriptions. In the same year Liam and his son William Sheahan also celebrated 70 successful years in business.
