McQuaid's pharmacy in Oldcastle was set alight on Thursday morning.
A Midlands community is coming together to support a local business woman whose pharmacy was burned out in an apparent arson attack.
McQuaid's pharmacy in Oldcastle was set alight using an accelerant in the early hours of Thursday morning.
The shop is attached to a former hotel which has been the subject of a controversial move to become an IPAS centre.
The owner of a nearby vacant shop offered it to Donna McQuaid after the fire, while people have been helping to clear out the old shop and prepare the new store.
Sinn Fein Meath West TD Johnny Guirke says the people of Oldcastle are standing by Ms McQuaid:
