'Gentleman' Arthur, 74, delivers festive joy to singing Limerick nurse
Arthur O’Sullivan, (74), Thomondgate, Limerick, poses with Kathleen Delaney, clinical nurse manager, University Hospital Limerick, after delivering a Christmas cake to Kathleen and her colleagues — a tradition he started and has continued since 2016.
Covid-19 could not spoil 74-year-old Arthur O’Sullivan's promise of delivering Christmas joy to a nurse at his local hospital, with cake, after she soothed him with a song while he laid on a trolley after collapsing at his birthday party on Christmas Eve, four years ago.
Despite the pandemic, Arthur, from Thomondgate, kept his promise to Kathleen Delaney and her colleagues at the Emergency Department of University Hospital Limerick (UHL), delivering the cake in person, in line with safe social distancing guidelines.
