Hidden Histories - Happy Birthday St Patrick's Hospital
19 September 2021 - 11 minsToday, the 19th of September, is the birthday of a deeply important institution - Saint Patrick’s Hospital, a Mental Health facility with a surprisingly long history, and a somewhat surprising founder.

Swift himself struggled with his mind, and even found humour in his unusual bequest.
Donal Fallon joins Gavan Reilly for another episode of Hidden Histories to discuss.
