We offer our congratulations to Dermot and his management team & players in securing premiere division football for the next season which was always their primary goal.
Also having undertaken a major development at the showgrounds, Sligo Rovers FC were awarded a categrory 2 stadium status and thus deeemed a suitable venue for European football. Dermot and the boys have capped a very successful year by reaching the FAI cup final on November the 22nd beween Sligo Rovers and Sporting Fingal at the Tallaght Showgrounds. Unfortunately the final score was Sporting Fingal : 2 Sligo Rovers : 1. To Dermot and his squad, good luck and continuing success in future seasons.

Dr. Michael Slazenger, R.I.P.
Consultant Anaesthetist,
St Vincent’s University Hospital & St. Michael’s Hospital
Retired 2005. Died 12th April 2010.
Irish Anaesthesia Indebted to Michael
It was with great sadness and regret that we learned of the untimely and tragic death of Michael on 12th April 2010, resulting from an aviation accident in Powerscourt Estate, Co. Wicklow.
During his career at St Vincent’s and St. Michael’s, he worked with many of Ireland’s leading surgical specialists. To his patients he was a devoted and caring doctor. He took a special interest in neuroanaesthesia and total intravenous anaesthesia, greatly abeited by his keen intellect and his in-depth knowledge of computers. He instilled in his trainee doctors his own love for knowledge, expressed through his teaching, clinical research and his constant striving for higher standards. He retired from St. Michael’s in 2005.
Irish Anaesthesia remains indebted to Michael for his pioneering advances.
To his family we as his Medical colleagues express our deepest sympathy.
