In 1951, Ireland experienced an influenza epidemic. Two physicians, Patrick Meenan and M. Clarke, documented this epidemic in an article published in the Journal of the Irish Medical Association. At the time, Meenan and Clarke were working in the WHO Influenza Centre, in Dublin's St Vincent's Hospital. Meenan subsequently became the Dean of the Faculty of Medicine at University College Dublin and president of the Medical Council of Ireland.
