At a recent meeting of the Limerick Guardians, a consulting medical officer was elected for the Limerick Workhouse. This followed a request from the Local Government Board for information about the occasions on which the late consulting medical officer was consulted over the past three years before filling the vacancy.

The guardians agreed to furnish the information and proceed with the election. Three candidates were in the running: Dr McGrath of Harrington’s Hospital, Dr William Fogerty of George Street, and Dr Graham. Dr McGrath emerged as the winner, receiving 46 votes, while Dr Graham and Dr Fogerty trailed behind.
