History
The hospital, which was built on land donated by the Archbishop of Dublin, was designed by Robinson Keefe Devane[1] and officially opened as Our Lady's Hospital for Sick Children in 1956.[2]
The hospital changed its name to "Our Lady's Children's Hospital, Crumlin" in 2005.[3]
In November 2012 the Minister for Health James Reilly announced plans to transfer the hospital's services to a new children's hospital on the campus of St. James's Hospital.[4][5]
In July 2013 concerns were raised about children who underwent a colonoscopy at the hospital between 17 May and 5 July 2013; it was revealed they had been exposed to an infection that could not be cured by antibiotics.[6]
All-Ireland champions
It is a tradition that All-Ireland champions visit the hospital after the final.[7][8][9] When the Dublin senior ladies' football team won the 2019 All-Ireland Senior Ladies' Football Championship Final, the team included Rachel Ruddy who works as a physiotherapist at the hospital. Ruddy hosted her Dublin team mates during their visit.[10][11][12][13]
