In March 2022, Government approved high-level proposals for a National Centre for Research and Remembrance, to be located on the site of the former Magdalen Laundry on Sean McDermott Street in Dublin 1. This Centre will stand as a site of conscience to honour equally all those who were resident in Industrial Schools, Magdalen Laundries, Mother and Baby and County Home Institutions, Reformatories, and related institutions.
The National Centre campus will also make a valuable contribution to the social and economic development of Dublin’s North East Inner City, through the provision of social housing units, further and higher educational facilities, and facilities for family and parenting supports. You can find out more information at the links below.
The information on this website will be updated on a regular basis. The Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth also holds an email contact list in order to issue updates to those with an interest in issues relating to the National Centre for Research and Remembrance. If you would like your email address to be included on our contact list in order to receive future updates please send an email to nationalcentre@equality.gov.ie requesting that your details be included. When we receive your request we will update our contact list and confirm your inclusion by a return email.
