The National Children's Hospital Satellite Centre Connolly Hospital opened in 2019The rear of St Francis' Hospice, in the townland of Abbotstown.
The hospital, which was initially established as a tuberculosis sanitarium, was designed by Norman White[2] and constructed by Sisk Builders.[3] It was named in memory of the Irish republican leader, James Connolly, and officially opened as the James Connolly Memorial Hospital in 1955.[3] Following the introduction of effective antibiotic treatment, the hospital was re-designated as a general hospital for the North West area of Dublin and re-opened as such in 1973.[3]
In 2005 a new accident and emergency unit, new operating theatres, new surgery facilities and a new intensive care unit were officially opened by the Minister of State for Children, Brian Lenihan, who also announced that the hospital would be renamed the Connolly Hospital Blanchardstown.[4]
The government allocated 6.8 acres on the Abbotstown lands at Blanchardstown for the building of a hospice under the care of the Daughters of Charity. This was a sister site to their hospice in Raheny. Construction works were completed in April 2011.[5]
A satellite facility for the National Children's Hospital, providing outpatient facilities and an urgent care centre opened in summer 2019.[6]
