The Central Mental Hospital has moved to a new state of the art, purpose-built facility in Portrane, Co. Dublin. This relocation is a major achievement in the development of mental health services and forensic mental health in Ireland. CMH currently operates as a therapeutic facility which is run under a hospital ethos and offers a range of forensic mental health services to its patients, and is the only centre in the Republic to provide specialist forensic psychiatric treatment for acute, medium and longer-term psychiatric care. CMH provides the base for the new National Forensic Mental Health Service (NFMHS) which is located on a 32-acre campus in Portrane, Co. Dublin.
