Everybody that worked there was excellent but without knocking anybody else, three nurses that worked in ward 2A helped me out with keeping my sanity while in excruciating pain, protecting my dignity, relieving my worries and concerns and making my hardship from a broken leg not seem like the end of the world I thought it was. They were Kate who I reckon was an angel on loan from Heaven, Sinead who looked after my bleeding leg post op even when I was asleep and Grace from Tipperary as she cheered me up no end with her ability to make me laugh and smile even while in excruciating pain. These nurses deserve medals for putting so much care and kindness into their work and therefore into their patients. 5 stars wouldn't even come close to rating these nurses.

Radiology department. Special mention and appreciation to Nurse Maire.

Triage nurses were very good. Terribly over worked but fantastic.

I would like to sincerely thank the Emergency Department and the whole team of the general ICU - they are angels. Thanks to them, I got to bring my son home.

Ladybird ward outstanding and so caring and brilliant nurses. Dr Olivia O'Mahony and Dr Louise Gibson are the most caring and brilliant doctors. We are blessed that they are looking after our daughter.

A&E staff on a busy Saturday night. Truly exceptional.

Dr Y Kayyal and his team were amazing. This man's bedside manner and professionalism were second to none. All staff on ward 4A including kitchen staff, housekeeping, stoma nurses and everybody involved in my care were some of the nicest people I have met. Their care and compassion was greatly appreciated. My surgeon, Mr S Killeen, an outstanding man at what he does who made me feel at ease every time I spoke to him. I'm forever grateful to him and his team.

The three doctors managing hundreds of patients in the A& E.

Ward 4A nursing staff, each and every one. Prof Mark Corrigan and team, who saved my life. Brilliant, thank you. Kitchen porters and cleaners were fun and funny.

I was admitted to A&E and all were very professional and attentive. I had to sleep on a trolley for one night but it was ok.

The radiotherapy department provided an excellent, efficient service.

Surgeon Mr Micheal O'Sullivan was exceptional and all of the nurses were fantastic. I am free of horrendous pain thanks to my surgeon and for that I am forever grateful.

Dr Eireen A&E. One of the most caring and professional doctors we have ever met. This was our second visit to A&E in 2 weeks. We were so lucky to meet such a wonderful doctor.
