Thank You wall at TUH
By Mary Dennehy
THANK You can be said in more ways than one, as is evident from a new wall of gratitude in Tallaght University Hospital.
The Executive Management team and TUH Board have installed a unique Thank You wall on the main avenue through the hospital.

The wall reflects the 56 nationalities working across the hospital, with the words Thank You translated into 36 official languages.
Commenting on the installation of the wall, TUH CEO Lucy Nugent said: “The installation of the Thank You wall is a very visible way of thanking all of our staff across the hospital for their incredible work and commitment particularly in the last year.
“Patient care and the running of the hospital involves an enormous team effort and that has never been more evident than in the last year.”
The wall was installed with support from the hospital’s Arts Officer, Alison Baker Kerrigan.
