The land and building at Temple Street are owned by the Mater Misericordiae and the Children’s University Hospitals (MMCUH) Limited. As such the future use of Temple Street following the transfer of paediatric services from there to the new children's hospital when it opens is a matter primarily for the MMCUH, in consultation with the HSE.
As provided for under the Children's Health Act 2018, the land and buildings of Our Lady's Children's Hospital Crumlin transferred to Children's Health Ireland with effect from 1 January 2019, thereby allowing the value realised from the transferred property to benefit children’s health. Under the Act, Children's Health Ireland may dispose of land and property with the approval of the HSE.
No decision has been taken as to the future use of the Temple Street and Crumlin sites following the transfer of services to the new children's hospital.
