Naming of National Children's Hospital for Dr. Kathleen Lynn: Motion
Seanad Éireann — 2023-05-24
============================================================

Seán Kyne (FG), Cultural and Educational Panel

I welcome the motion. I spoke on it before but not in support, for a number of reasons. I am familiar with many hospitals: University Hospital Galway and Merlin Park in my area; Castlebar and University Hospital Limerick. None of them is named after men. If we had a history of naming all hospitals after men one could say we should change tack and name a hospital after a woman. However, that is not what this is about.
