The event marked an important moment in Ireland’s social and historical record, celebrating the release of the 1926 Census – offering a unique insight into the lives and stories of people across the country a century ago.

Pauline, a resident of Leopardstown Park Hospital and Centenarian Ambassador, was honoured to attend this significant national occasion. She is pictured with An Taoiseach, Micheál Martin, during the event.

This was a proud and memorable moment for Pauline, her family, and the wider Leopardstown Park Hospital community. We are delighted to share and celebrate this special occasion.
