RTE website surely is confused about hospital dates

The RTE website at 16.22 today reported that the National Maternity Hospital in Holles Street is relocating to the campus of St Vincent's University Hospital in South Dublin.

In the last paragraph of the story it tells readers that Holles Street opened in 1984.

A lot of us will begin to wonder where at all we were born.

It had been corrected by 18.24. Hospital was opened in 1894.

That's a relief to know.
