These photos that Nyoman noticed at the CorrsMisc website are supposedly from about 2002 (before my time as a Corrs fan). Does anybody know anything more about them?
These appear to be photos of when Sharon helped with efforts to obtain a hospital for Dundalk. It was a rainy day and Sharon's hair is wet. It appears that off to the right in the first picture is Gerry Corr.
I'm not sure what the results were.
I just found an article in a cached section of Google:
NEHB denies Louth Hospital is to be closed
[Posted: Tuesday, 22 October, 2002]

There are no plans to close or downgrade Louth County Hospital, the North Eastern Health Board (NEHB) has insisted.
Thousands of people took to the streets of Dundalk last night, in protest at what they see as a downgrading of the hospital. Maternity services have already been moved to Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Drogheda. The majority of trauma cases must also bypass Louth and travel to Our Lady of Lourdes, which takes an extra 20 minutes.
Speakers at the public rally included Sharon Corr, of band 'The Corrs'. Three of the four members of the band were born at Louth County General.

The protest was organised by the Irish Nurses Organisation, which has also expressed concern that consultant surgeons at the hospital have not yet been offered a permanent contract.
However in a statement, the chief executive of the NEHB, Paul Robinson, said that there are no plans to close or downgrade the hospital.
The Louth County Hospital site is 'guaranteed an active role in the delivery of comprehensive acute hospital services within the Louth/Meath hospital group and the region as a whole', the statement said.[/size]
