The McCrystal Family run three pharmacies in Virginia and Cootehill, County Cavan. The company was set-up in Virginia in 2003 and expanded to nearby Cootehill in 2004 and 2019.
We are a family run business and are strongly committed to the ideals of independent community pharmacy, pharmacist owned, and pharmacist led.
It is our aim to provide an efficient, professional and confidential service to our communities.
McCrystal’s Pharmacy Group is an independent pharmacy group based in County Cavan, Ireland.
We operate 3 community pharmacies:
• McCrystal’s Staywell Pharmacy, Virginia.
• McCrystal’s Staywell Pharmacy, Cootehill.
• Cootehill Careplus Pharmacy, Cootehill.
McCrystal’s Pharmacy opened in Virginia in September 2003. The pharmacy was originally based in Arnolds Medical Hall, taking over from the recently retired Miss Miriam Arnold MPSI, who had provided many years’ service to people of the Virginia area.
The pharmacy re-located twice over the years and in June 2019 we rebranded, refitted and moved our business to its current location beside Skelly’s Costcutter on the Main Street.
This move allowed us to showcase our pharmacy in a more spacious, brighter unit with much better car parking and by joining the ‘Staywell Brand’ enabled us greater buying power to extend our product ranges, and supply them to our customers at the most competitive prices.
Another exciting addition to this move was the opening of our on-site ‘Live Well Therapy Clinic’ which is run by our on-site beautician and therapist Annemarie Higgins.
OPENING HOURS:
Monday – Saturday 9am – 6.00pm

McCrystal’s Pharmacy (previously Howlin’s Pharmacy) opened in Cootehill in June 2004.
The Pharmacy trades from the corner of Market Street and Bridge Street following extensive renovations in late 2014 / early 2015. This move allowed us to showcase our pharmacy in a more spacious, brighter unit with an entrance on both Market Street and Bridge Street. The pharmacy joined the “STAYWELL BRAND” in 2021 and enabled us greater buying power to extend our product ranges, and supply them to our customers at the most competitive prices.
