History
The hospital, which was designed by Francis Johnston and William Murphy, opened as the Limerick Asylum in January 1827.[1] It became Limerick Mental Hospital in the 1920s and went on to become St. Joseph's Hospital in the 1950s.[1] After the introduction of deinstitutionalisation in the late 1980s the hospital went into a period of decline.[2][3] However, despite calls for its closure,[4] the hospital continues to offer rehabilitation services.[5]
