Royal Hibernian Military School

The Royal Hibernian Military School was founded in 1769 as the Hibernian Asylum, by the Hibernian Society, a philanthropic organisation founded in Ireland in 1769 after the Seven Years' War. [1] The Society petitioned the King for a charter on 18 April 1769 and the Hibernian Society was incorporated under Royal Charter on 15 July 1769. [1] [2] The first meeting of the Governors was held on 6 November 1769 in Dublin Castle. [2]

In 1922 the school and boys moved to Shorncliffe and the buildings were handed over to the newly independent Irish Government. [1]

Medical use

The buildings were used as a hospital by the Irish Army. [3] In 1948 it was transferred to the Dublin Health Authority and turned into a Chest Hospital. [3] In 1964 it became a facility for older patients and provides today accommodation for dependent older people. [3] St Mary’s Hospital undertook a major renovation in late 2020 bringing facilities to that of a modern healthcare facility. St Mary’s Hospital has increased its inpatient capacity from 48 to 101 sub-acute rehabilitation beds providing support to acute hospitals in the region. Phase 2 of the infrastructure upgrade is to include the expansion and modernisation of the hospital's x-Ray department. [4] The Phoenix Park Community Nursing Unit (PPCNU) has 150 beds and provides residential care to older adults. [5]
