St Bricin's Military Hospital (Irish: Ospidéal Míleata Naomh Bricin) is a military hospital in Arbour Hill, an inner city area of Dublin, Ireland, serving members of the Irish Defence Forces and under the administration of the Army's Medical Corps.
Designed by the Royal Engineers of the British Army, it was named the King George V Hospital (‘KGVH’) to mark the 1911 coronation and Irish visit of the king before it opened in 1913 and was administered by the Royal Army Medical Corps (RAMC).
It was part of an extensive complex of British military and support facilities west of Dublin city centre for the British garrison in Ireland.
The hospital was renamed after Saint Bricín of Tomregan, because of his skill as a surgeon in 7th century Ireland.
[2] In 2005 consideration was given to making the hospital available for public use to ease pressure on accident and emergency departments.
