Lactation consultant Maried O'Sullivan (recommending the consultation to all new mothers that want to breastfeed, very engaged, great advice, very supportive). Midwifes from Gallarus ward - Nora, Catherine and Maura. Midwifes from labour ward - Joanne and Emer. I would like to thank to all these women for being so caring, being there for me when I needed help and advice. They made me feel at ease and were extremely supportive as I was having my first baby. Regards, Agnieszka Wozniak, Stephen Morrissey and baby Maksymilian.

James Hanlon in A&E. I arrived in A&E at 4 o'clock on Sunday morning with a gallstones attack. He had arrived with a chair within a minute to the reception area as he saw me in a bad state, had my bloods taken within a minute and in the A&E room on a bed within five minutes of arriving at the hospital, set up for an intravenous morphine dose ready for the doctor to supervise the injection. He was able to take in, assess and react with no messing about and all very calmly. A pure professional with good, common sense and empathy from him. Thank you James. John.

Lady in charge of A&E, suit, English accent..an absolute saint shouldn't have to apologise for deplorable conditions. Staff nurse Anne who looked after me and about eight others and missed nothing. Excellent nurses who have poor backup and are responsible for everything.
