New era as home finally opens in Dingle
IT was a long time coming and people in Dingle, Co Kerry, yesterday breathed a huge sigh of relief when a brand new community hospital finally opened its doors.
Shortly after 8.30am, the first patients, Jack Kavanagh, aged 103, and Padraig Lynch, 91, moved into the €16.4 million building, having been transferred from St Elizabeth’s Hospital, which dates to famine times.
