The Regional Hospital under construction
Thu, Apr 02, 2026
The National Library gave us this aerial photograph of the ‘Regional’ under construction in 1953. The foundation stone for the hospital was laid in 1949 by Dr Noel Browne, the Minister for Health. Just in front of it you can see the old Central Hospital. The building of the new involved the demolition of the rear wing of the old Central. Long-term patients in the Central were accommodated in temporary huts located in front of the building, an arrangement that allowed the Central to function more or less normally during construction.
