Grangegorman has been well described as the “Forgotten” quarter of Dublin, perhaps unsurprisingly, given the often grim history of workhouses, asylums and fever hospitals Accordingly it's a district many of us barely know. That’s all set to change with huge, city shaping transformations afoot, and a new University being created. Grangegorman is perhaps the least known of Dublin quarters. This is a timely moment to explore, discover and discuss this remarkable, and historically resonant corner of Dublin.
