Dr Siobhan Kierans, Dr Maire Hynes & Associates
Dear Patients, I am writing this with huge regret, I know some of you 30 years. However the practice is closing November 10th. Dr Hynes would have taken over the medical card list but this is uncertain until next February March, Its too long for me to keep the practice open and pay all the bills . Please Rest assured I have all your medical records and can forward them directly to you or a new GP. There are two practice is recommend Dr Torun 59 A Old Bawn way tel 01 9602244 and Dr Maria Pilar Gladon Blesa on Belgard road .
I will log on each week to watch out for requests for records and forward to you or a new practice .
Due to illness I stepped down In May 2023 , and have tried to keep the practice going despite the Medical Card Practice temporarily moved to Glenview, Dr Hynes did not have a GMS Licence to act during my absence so they moved it to Glenview . While unwell I am now more challenged due to the upset of closure and not saying good bye to you wonderful Human Beings . Last week I decided to resign, I am almost 61 !! . I will miss you all so much , you are the best bunch of folks , and I learnt from you over the years with your nuggets of wisdom . I took my job full on wanted the best for you and no stone unturned when you were unwell . I sincerely loved working in Tallaght , As the first female GP here and then always wanting to make a difference helping those who were unheard or struggling
