A white-gold wedding ring was dropped into a charity bag by accident

A detailed description of the garment where the ring was stored will be needed to prove ownership.

AN 18 CARAT white gold wedding ring was found in a bag of garments donated to an Age Action charity shop in Monaghan yesterday.

It’s believed that the mans ring was included by accident.

Age Action is trying to track down the owner. However, a detailed description of the garment where the ring was stored will be needed to prove ownership.

Shop manager Mary Beagan explained how the ring was found, “I was sorting a bag of garments and preparing them for display yesterday when the ring fell out on the floor.

“We are presuming that it was accidentally put into the bag and may be hugely valuable for the owner.”

Beagan added that the shop would like to reunite the ring with its owner but that it’s unclear if the person who owns the ring is living in the Monaghan area or further afield.

“The bag of clothes could have been donated locally in the Monaghan area,” Mary explained. “But it could also have been donated in Dublin as very often bags of clothes donated in Dublin are moved between our shops.”

The Age Action charity shop in Monaghan can be contacted on 047-75942.

    It must be so difficult having a child with special needs. But it does seem to bring the best out in people. Well done to you Jennifer for being the type of mother we could all learn from. And that 12 yr old boy is some hero. God bless ye both and hats off to ye.

    Jennifer what a wonderful mother you are to your two children. Caring for them in such a loving and selfless way when you yourself must have a hard time of it with this condition yourself. Some people have a heavy load to carry on their shoulders. You are an inspiration. Wishing you and your family all the best.

    Fairplay to her, very deserving. Though it was unfortunate that on SixOne when the camera cut to her 3 year old playing a game on a tablet, it was the Grand Theft Auto (rated 18). She was in the middle of carjacking somebody and the voice over was Jennifer saying “You always need to be watching them”.
    You couldn’t script it. Whoever was in charge of editing that footage could not have missed that…

    That is only something that a mother could do and Jennifer this is something in life that only a mother understands and you will be well rewarded. I know people who have no children. it is so sad, the greatest pleasure in life is your own child or children you are blessed life is not easy but there is millions of couples who would love to have what you have and i hope that you and your children have a long and happy life i wish you all well
