Ashleigh and friends help make hospital food tasty

Teenage cancer survivor Ashleigh Kiernan played a major role in ensuring that the food at the new national children’s hospital at St James’s Hospital in Dublin will be worldclass.

Ashleigh, 13, from Lucan, Co Dublin, a member of the Youth Advisory Council, wants the food in the new hospital to be tastier.

“We want the patients to be able to eat Chinese, Italian, and Mexican food,” she says. “When I was in hospital the food was very plain and not very tasty.”
