Delia Moclair

Delia Moclair (8 January 1895 – 23 November 1971) was an Irish obstetrician, and first woman assistant master of the National Maternity Hospital, Dublin.

She could also speak Irish fluently, and was an accomplished mezzo-soprano singer, winning the Denis O'Sullivan medal at the 1921 Feis Ceoil, and often performed at events and concerts.

[1] In 1922 Moclair was unanimously elected as the first woman assistant master of the National Maternity Hospital, Dublin, having been nominated by Sir Andrew Horne having faced "some opposition from the more conservative Governors".

In the late 1920s, Moclair and Horne Jr held undergraduate posts in Vienna, and upon their return to Dublin, established a private practice.

With Dorothy Price, Moclair testified before the Carrigan Commission, which was reviewing the existing Irish law on sexual offences in Ireland.
