Cork North Infirmary

Cork, Ireland

The North Infirmary (Irish: Otharlann Chorcaí Thuaidh) was the first general hospital to be opened in Cork. Originally holding only 24 beds, it eventually expanded to 115 beds. It was used as a fever hospital during the famine, housed Irish soldiers wounded in the First World War and covertly treated wounded Republicans during the War of Independence. The infirmary closed its doors on 26 November 1987, and is now a hotel.
