The hospital, which was designed by Francis Johnston, opened as the Carlow District Lunatic Asylum in 1832.[1] It became Carlow Mental Hospital in 1925 and, having been re-named St. Dympna's Hospital, after St. Dympna, the patron saint of mental illness, in 1958, it was taken over by the Department of Health in 1971.[2] After the introduction of deinstitutionalisation in the late 1980s the hospital went into a period of decline.[3][4] Kelvin Grove, a modern residential unit for adult clients with learning difficulties, opened on the site in 2008.[5] The main hospital closed in October 2011.[6]
