Grangegorman Histories

Grangegorman Histories is a public history programme of Dublin City Council, Grangegorman Development Agency, the Health Service Executive, local communities, the National Archives, the Royal Irish Academy and TU Dublin. The programme provides opportunities to contribute to the important work of uncovering, cataloguing and commemorating the eventful history of the Grangegorman area. In the past 250 years, Grangegorman, on the northside of Dublin’s city centre, has been the site of a workhouse, a large psychiatric hospital, a prison; now, it is integrating back into the city as a health and education campus for the HSE, TU Dublin and the local community.
