St Joseph’s Hospital Records Dating Back Almost 200 Years to be Preserved by Limerick City Archives

Joe Taylor — Sat, 23 Mar 2013 10:39:57 +0000

A fascinating insight into Limerick’s social history has been unlocked with the transfer of almost two hundred years of records from St Joseph’s Hospital to Limerick City Archives.

The St. Joseph’s Hospital Archive Collection has been transferred from the Health Services Executive (HSE) to Limerick City Archives on long term loan. The transfer of records took place today (Monday) at a launch in City Hall, Limerick by Mr Jimmy Deenihan TD, Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht.

St. Joseph’s Hospital was founded as the Limerick District Lunatic Asylum in 1827 and records of the institution survive in the archive from that date.

The hospital once employed 400 staff to care for more than 1000 patients and ran its own bakery, laundry, cobbler, butcher, tailors and upholsters. It employed permanent tradesmen to maintain the buildings including masons, carpenters, grounds men and painters. The Morning Statement books record the daily activities of patients, whether employed in the kitchens, laundry or sewing.

All social classes and religions were recorded among patients admitted to the hospital and the vast majority were adults. Over the years patients were admitted for many different reasons, including sunstroke, epilepsy, disease of brain, effects of climate and dementia.

Homeless centre in Limerick to create 40 jobs

Joe Taylor — Thu, 21 Mar 2013 22:36:27 +0000

FORTY construction jobs will be created in Limerick over the next 18 months, as the Brother Stephen Russell House is set to be demolished and replaced by a new €4m centre. Br Russell House on Mulgrave Street in Limerick has been providing care for homeless men in the city for more than three decades, but with demand for homeless accommodation rising in recent years, the service exceeded capacity on a regular basis and the building is no longer fit for purpose.

The house has been run and managed by Novas Initiatives since 2005, who received €1.75m from millionaire philanthropist J.P. McManus’ golf classic to help with the costs of the new development.

Easter return for city centre bus service in Limerick

Joe Taylor — Wed, 20 Mar 2013 19:51:55 +0000

BUS services in Lord Edward Street, which were axed in Bus Eireann’s timetable shake-up, are to be restored next month. In September last year, Bus Eireann changed its timetables, in a move which saw direct services between Raheen, Dooradoyle and Westbury.

But certain parts of the city were cut out of the loop, including Lord Edward Street. This has been the subject of many complaints, but at last week’s city council meeting, Bus Eireann regional manager Miriam Flynn confirmed bus line 301 would operate down this street from Easter Sunday, April 7.

Joe Taylor — Wed, 20 Mar 2013 10:57:03 +0000

THE principal of a Limerick school that suspended 28 students after they ‘liked’ an offensive post on Facebook has called on the Data Protection Commissioner to carry out a full out a full investigation into the issues surrounding the case.

He says the Joint Committee on Transport and Communications should request the recall of Facebook to explain itself, especially with regard to this case.
