Product Description
Founded in 1872, Temple Street is now one of Ireland s best recognised children s hospitals. From the nurses who used to smuggle Penny Horribles onto the wards, to the child whose journey to Dublin took seven hours on a turf-fired train, memories of Temple Street are as rich as they are varied. Today, the old buildings still resonate with stories but one tradition has not changed a deep commitment to the well-being of Irish children. This fantastic new book by bestselling historian and employee of the hospital Barry Kennerk will bring the reader inside this fascinating building to show them the way it works and worked and give a deep understanding of just how and why this amazing institution remains vibrant after so many years in operation.
