Introducing children to the world of healthcare
Children got a chance to learn all about compassion as they brought their teddy bears to "hospital" on Saturday.
150 children visited the Teddy Bear Hospital at the Munster Technology University, North Campus in Tralee. The event was organised by students and staff from MTU and RCSI (Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland), along with charity partner BUMBLEance, the world’s first ambulance service specifically designed and tailored for children.
The aim of the event was to ease the stress and tension that a child feels when attending a hospital or when seeing a doctor, as well as finding out more about what doctors, nurses and healthcare specialists and professionals do as part of their jobs. RCSI, MTU and Castel Education (Cambridge Education Group – CEG) deliver the International Medical/ Pharmacy Commencement Programme (IMCP/IPCP) at the North Campus in Tralee.
Using the cuddly teddy bears, MTU and RCSI medical, healthcare, and science students, and staff showed children what happens in a hospital, who works there and how the 'Teddy Doctor' helps the sick teddy to feel better and also explained the whole process of being in a hospital from start to finish using the teddy bears.

Feel no guilt in laughter
I know how much you care
Feel no sorrow in a smile
That I’m not here to share
But let the memories comfort you
A word someone might say
Will suddenly recapture
A time, an hour, a day
That brings me back so clearly
As though I was still here
And fills you with the feeling
That I am always near.
For if you keep those moments
We’ll never be apart
And I will live forever
Safe within your heart.

4th Anniversary Cronin
In loving memory of Brendan Cronin Mangerton Rd, Muckross, Killarney Who died on 2nd May 2019.
When great trees fall, Rocks on distant hills shudder, Lions hunker down in tall grasses And even elephants lumber after safety.
When great souls die and our reality, bound to them, takes leave of us. Our souls, dependent upon their nurture, now shrink, wizened.
Our minds, formed and informed by their radiance, fall away.
And when great souls die, After a period peace blossoms, Slowly and always irregularly. Spaces fill with a kind of soothing electric vibration.
Our senses, restored, never to be the same, whisper to us. They existed. They existed. We can be. Be and be better. For they existed!
In loving memory of Michael Linehan
Late of Linehan’s Bar, 13 College Street, Killarney
