Pioneering healthcare facility on a 12.3 hectare campus, Portrane, North Dublin

JJ Rhatigan OHL have recently signed a €120M contract with the HSE for the construction of The National Forensic Mental Health Hospital, a new state of the art facility which will replace the Central Mental Hospital in Dundrum.
Work on the construction of the 170 bedroom NFMHS Hospital has now begun on the grounds of St. Ita’s Hospital, Portrane. The entire complex has been designed to meet BREEAM accreditation as a cost-effective means of bringing sustainable value to development.
The campus will facilitate segregated high and medium secure services and includes a number of shared facilities. It will include 13 hospital wards, a primary healthcare and therapy centre and administrative complex and is due for completion in the summer of 2019.
