The field of neurology is rapidly changing all the time. Neurologists used to be just diagnostic clinicians but now it is a therapeutic specialisation. This is the era of neurology and the brain is the Holy Grail of medical research. - Professor Tim Lynch
History of the building
In 2002, 57 Eccles Street was a derelict building opposite The Mater Hospital. It belonged to the Sisters of Mercy who in their wisdom donated the building to the Neurology Department at The Mater Hospital for renovation. It now houses Ireland’s first Neurological Institute. The Institute will be an essential facility for people with Neurological conditions in Ireland.
