History

The hospital was founded in 1812 by the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers).[1] An AGM report from 1827 shows several members of the Pim family on the committee, with James Pim, later to be heavily associated with the Dublin and Kingstown Railway, as Treasurer.[3]

Developers made arrangements with the Religious Society of Friends to redevelop the hospital and provide a meeting house for the Quakers whilst retaining some of the old buildings.[2]

gollark: Can you not use a μSD card?
gollark: This is not* going to be an issue later, I'm sure.
