Sick children in Eurodisney trip
BreakingNews.ie 13/05/2006 - 09:05:55  Some 42 sick youngsters from the south west were today heading to EuroDisney Paris on a trip organisers say is just what the doctor ordered.The children from Kerry, Cork city and county and Tipperary, many of whom have spent time in hospital this year, will travel to France for the weekend. Breda Chandler, chairwoman for the Cork city hospitals children’s club, revealed around 5,000 children are treated each year at Cork University Hospital. “While their stay is usually relatively short – two-and-a-half-days on average – children are usually only brought to hospital when they are very sick,” she said. “Going to EuroDisney is just what the doctor ordered for many of them, especially those who have had a particularly difficult year. “A trip like this is a real boost for them, a chance to show them that although they’ve been sick, that they can still have lots of fun.” The money for the break was raised by the children’s Club and the Kinsale & District Lion’s Club. This annual EuroDisney trip will include not only sick children from Cork University Hospital, but also from the Cork Association for the Deaf, the Mercy University Hospital and the South Infirmary Victoria University Hospital. “We’re delighted that this event is expanding to include more children than in previous years,” said event co-ordinator John Looney. |

fiona (19.5.06 20:30) Dear Fiona McCann, My name is Fiona McCann, and everytime somebody googles me, they end up on your site and I go through the whole rigmarole of explaining that I am not you, or you are not me. Today, I googled myself, and once again, it led to you. In a moment of existential uncertainty, I thought it best to write and confirm that we are not, in fact the same person. Regards, Fiona McCann |

(19.5.06 22:50) I'm sorry you are having this trouble. You are probably a very intelligent and serious person who works in a respectable institution, and here I make people think you are some goof ball! What can I say? |
