Harriet Wheelock / Thursday 21 April 2011 Kathleen Lynn – Revolutionary Doctor Kathleen Lynn by Lily Williams Last night the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland held the launch of a new documentary on the life of Dr Kathleen Lynn. Made by Loopline films for TG4, the documentary draws extensively on the Kathleen Lynn diaries and the Saint Ultan's Hospital papers held in the archive. The documentary uses a combination of interviews, original source materials and dramatisations of moments in Lynn's life to create an engaging and informative look at Lynn's involvement in the Irish suffrage movement, the 1916 rising, the foundation of the Irish state and the establishment of the first infant hospital in Ireland. KL/1/1 - Diary of Kathleen Lynn, 3 May 1916 The documentary will be show on TG4 on Easter Monday, April 25th at 9.30, so set you video/dvd recorders/sky box now. If you can't wait until then there is a clip from the documentary on loopline's website and, if your Irish is better than mine, you can listen to a piece about the documentary from BBC Ulster's Blas here.
