Geocache Description:

Our Lady's Hospital (Irish: Ospidéal Mhuire) was a psychiatric hospital in Ennis.

The hospital, which was designed by William Fogerty, opened as the Ennis Asylum in 1868. It became Ennis Mental Hospital in the 1920s and went on to become Our Lady's Hospital in the 1950s.After the introduction of deinstitutionalisation in the late 1980s the hospital went into a period of decline and closed in March 2002. The site, which has changed hands eight times since the hospital closed, was acquired by a new developer in March 2018, but sold once again soon after. The site was recently bought again for a heafty price.
