Death of Former Members: Expressions of Sympathy.

 

Lady Goulding was involved with the clinic in many of the years I worked there, when her health was good. I saw at first hand her commitment, drive and compassion. She focused on doing as much as possible for children with physical disabilities, based on the need identified by her and her band of volunteers, friends and others she dragged along with her, as she was well capable of doing. I believe she decided to establish the Central Remedial Clinic and to put in place the services it offers today after she saw the anguish and concern of parents at first hand. The centre in Clontarf, which is internationally recognised, caters for the educational, medical and therapeutic needs of children with physical disabilities. Lady Goulding was the real and only motivator in that regard.
