Re: Re: Ireland’s victorian asylums

Is Dundrum (the Central Mental Hospital) not Victorian? 1850?

I am looking forward to it being closed. I know someone who works there who says the conditions are unbelievably bad – slopping out etc. It will be great when that terrible wall comes down and the land gets luas justified rezoning so that even fewer people can board at Milltown.

below is an aerial shot of just a portion of the mental hospital lands in Dundrum.
