Children’s Health Ireland at Temple Street
History: Founded in 1872, CHI at Temple Street is Ireland’s oldest children’s hospital. It has a long legacy of providing specialised care to generations of Irish children.
Importance: CHI at Temple Street is a national tertiary referral centre, meaning it treats complex and severe cases from across the country. It’s a critical part of Ireland’s healthcare infrastructure, offering everything from emergency services to long-term treatment.
Future Plans: There’s an ongoing project to relocate CHI at Temple Street to a new, state-of-the-art facility alongside St. James’s Hospital, creating the New Children’s Hospital. While this aims to improve patient care, the process has faced some delays and controversies.
St. George’s Church
Designed by Francis Johnston, St. George’s Church is considered one of his finest works.
Built between 1802 and 1813, St. George’s Church was a significant place of worship for the Church of Ireland community. It boasts impressive Georgian architecture.
Due to population shifts, the church experienced declining attendance and was deconsecrated in 1990.
Current Status: The building has been repurposed. It houses the Temple Street Children’s University Hospital Foundation and other uses, preserving its architectural heritage.
Social Housing in Temple Street
According to Dublin City Council there are 946 registered social housing properties in the area. The presence of social housing highlights the mixed nature of the Temple Street area. Social housing is vital in providing affordable living options within Dublin. Some residents face challenges due to substandard housing conditions and it has been reported that overcrowding, dampness, mould, and cold are common issues.
