A plan by religious order, the Little Sisters of the Poor, to consolidate its work and resources has opened up an opportunity for nursing-home operators and investors in the wider healthcare sector. It includes an 85-bed registered nursing home, 26 independent-living apartments, a chapel, auditorium and former convent accommodation. A feasibility study prepared by CWPA Planning & Architecture outlines the options for reconfiguration and redevelopment to increase the number of rooms at the complex, subject to planning permission. The property is zoned Z15 (“Community and Social Infrastructure”) under the Dublin City Development Plan 2022–2028. We have served in Ireland now for 162 years and hope to be here for many more years”.
