The National Archives of Ireland tweetz:
Dublin’s Lying-in Hospital is the oldest maternity facility in the world. This fine paper seal attached to an application to Dublin Castle for funds in 1818, features a mother and 3 infants. Now Ireland has the highest birth rate in the EU!

Lying in
Yep
The Coombe Lying In until the latter part of the 90s when the then Master
Michael Turner changed it to The Coombe Women and Infants University Hospital
It got tweeked a few times after than, but the gist was the same pretty much
Now it CUH, Coombe University Hospital
Ridin’
Memories light the corners of my mind,
Misty water-coloured memories of the way we were.
