THE DOCTOR WHO founded the Hello My Name Is hospital campaign has died.
Dr Kate Granger had been battling cancer since 2011. She was 34 years old.
Following her admission to hospital, Kate noticed that very few of those treating her introduced themselves by name so she launched an initiative encouraging hospital staff to always introduce themselves to patients.
A number of hospitals in Ireland and the UK have adopted the policy.
Her husband Chris Pointon confirmed that she died yesterday, surrounded by loved ones.

Kate, who had been receiving hospital treatment in Leeds, also raised £250,000 (about €300,000) for the Yorkshire Cancer Centre. She reached her fundraising target just three days ago.

How can one win an architecture award just on good location? The Kilsallagh one and the Marconi station are just good locations with nothing of architectural interest.

@Alan O’Rourke: and the Twin Towers in Poolbeg !
The public library in Bantry Co Cork incorporates the adjacent twisting road and river ingeniously.
Most of them are hidious (especailly the modern ones) and completely impractical, (flat roofs in Ireland just means the designer has no grasp on reality) Are the older better quality desgins going to the original designers, or the nesw ones whove just stuck a few panes of glass in and cleaned the stonework?
