Beacon Hospital €75m expansion secures approval

Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council granting planning for the 70 care bed extension at the hospital in Sandyford.

Included in the new scheme are A&E facilities, cancer care facilities and associated in-patient treatment rooms.

The redevlopment will involve the substantive demolition of the eight-storey Beacon Hotel which the Beacon Hospital purchased late in 2020 from
US billionaire John Malone’s MHL Collection luxury hotel group.

The Council has granted permission despite a comprehensive group objection lodged by the 70 owners and tenants of the Beacon One apartment complex, as they found that the hospital extension does not detract from the amenities of the area and is consistent with the provisions of the current Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Development Plan.
