Celebrating 100 Years Of Life- A Man Who Helped Improve Life In General
Meet Tom “Tommy” O’Neill, MBE. He is a native of Kanturk, residing in Mansfield, England. He is the uncle of Discover Duhallow’s man on the road, Martin “Bam Bam“ O’Neill and recently, he celebrated his 100th birthday. While that is an achievement in of itself, the man has a few more big ones in his life. Working as a radiographer, Tommy was one of the pioneers of the ultrasound. His contribution to the field of Ultrasound is so significant, the Ultrasound department of King’s Mill Hospital in Mansfield was named in his honour and he received an MBE from Queen Eliazabeth the 2nd in 1989. We at Discover Duhallow salute and thank you sir! People like Tommy make the world a safer and better place for the rest of us.
