A few days ago my wife Jacinta and I were invited to tour the new maternity wing of Cork University Hospital. It’s due to open officially on March 24, only a few days away now!
I asked the very pleasant security guard if I could take any photos but he said that I needed permission to shoot. Perhaps if I had time but the tour was about to start so I made do with remembering as much of it as possible.
I’ll update this post with details of the tour over the next few hours. We were really impressed, but they didn’t plan a few areas of the hospital properly, which is going to bite them in years to come.

What filters did you use on this one? The sky is a nice gradient but the rest of the image appears largely unaffected.

ahem, it wasn’t a filter, I used an overlay layer with a black to transparent gradient. Works a treat for skies, especially as the black doesn’t affect the clouds or white building in this case!

Can anyone find me former midwife una flanagan? Must be in her 70s by now and I’d like to get in touch with her.
Can someone inform me as to the whereabouts of Una Flanagan? Revered midwife of Cork, originally from county Waterford.
I think she is a friend of my mothers!I will find out and check back with you!
Una Flanagan was alive and well last time I saw her in 2012….He lived off the Glasheen Rd in Cork City and is or was in the phone book under AU Flanagan….She worked in the Erinville Hospital and retired around 1990
Thanks so much, Leslie!
Soryy should have said that is in response to Tim who is looking for Una Flanagan!

HI, i want to say thank you. I had my baby-boy in this hospital. All doctors and midwifes are great. Especially thanks to the midwife which was with me in the 9 ward (04-12-2008), when born my lithuanian baby-boy.
MANY THANKS
