Delays persist over Central Mental Hospital move to new campus

Central Mental Hospital: Was supposed to move from Dundrum in 2019.

The inspector of mental health services has said “we are all waiting” for the Central Mental Hospital to move to its new campus, as she identified three “high-risk” breaches at its current Victorian-era facility.

The country’s sole forensic psychiatric hospital was initially supposed to leave its home in Dundrum, south Dublin, and move into Portrane, north Dublin, by the close of 2019.
