The Mercy Hospital, Cork

A view of the Mercy Hospital (now Mercy University Hospital) in Cork in 1938. The caption to the photograph notes that the building was ‘once the Mansion House’, a reference to the fact that the oldest part of the hospital was built between 1764 and 1767 and that the original building served as the official residence of the Lord Mayor of Cork until 1842.

Statue of Saint Patrick, Hill of Tara, County Meath

A view of the original statue of Saint Patrick on the Hill of Tara in County Meath in about 1945. This statue, attributed to the sculptor Thomas Curry (c.1821-1911), was erected in the late nineteenth century. The Office of Public Works (OPW) removed the statue for repair in 1992. During the removal the statue was damaged beyond repair and, afterwards, was further damaged by vandals. A replacement statue of Saint Patrick was unveiled (at a different location on the Hill of Tara) in 2000.
