National Centre for Research and Remembrance

In March 2022, Government approved high-level proposals for a National Centre for Research and Remembrance, to be located on Seán MacDermott Street in Dublin 1. This Centre will stand as a site of conscience to honour equally all those who spent time in Industrial Schools, Magdalen Laundries, Mother and Baby and County Home Institutions, Reformatories, and related institutions, and all those who have lived experience of Ireland’s historical adoption and boarded out systems.

The National Centre campus will also make a valuable contribution to the long-term social and economic regeneration 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.
