Mary has now secured the support of the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health following Mary’s letter to the chair of the committee, Sean Crowe TD. The campaign also has the support of Fianna Fáil, Labour, Sinn Féin, the Green Party, Fórsa, SIPTU and the National Women’s Council of Ireland.

By naming the new National Children’s Hospital after Dr Kathleen Lynn, her values and ethos will inform the hospital’s culture and provision of healthcare for generations to come. Her name would serve as a constant reminder of the importance of treating every patient with respect, dignity and compassion.

Please support the 1916 Relatives Association campaign to have the new National Children’s Hospital named after Dr Kathleen Lynn by signing their petition HERE. Please share with your friends, family and anybody else who would like to see the new Children’s Hospital named after Dr Kathleen Lynn.
