Adelaide Hospital annual report for the year ended 31st December 1989. the 150th year of the hospital.

Abstract

Everyone, who was in the Hospital on 11th March, 1989, received a flower to mark the day on which the Hospital first opened 150 years ago. We had arranged to give each patient, each member of staff, and each visitor a single bloom to mark in a personal way the celebration of the 150th Anniversary of the Adelaide. Later, we had a more formal celebration with the Service of Thanksgiving at Christ Church Cathedral on 7th May, 1989. His Grace Dr. Donald Caird, Archbishop of Dublin, preached the sermon in which he spoke of the past and of the future at Tallaght. The Annual Service in Birr was a particularly splendid occasion this year-His Grace, Dr. Robin Eames. Archbishop of Armagh, preached the sermon, and the choir of St. Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin, led us in worship.
