Blackrock Clinic in Blackrock, Dublin was co-founded in 1984 by surgeons Joseph Sheehan, his brother Jimmy Sheehan, Maurice Neligan and Nuclear Medicine Specialist George Duffy as a private, high-tech hospital offering healthcare to privately insured patients.[1][2]
A teaching hospital, it is associated with both the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland and University College Dublin.
However, most of the rooms in the hospital are private. In March 2008, the clinic announced a major, €100 million expansion over a five-year period, with the goal of doubling its capacity.[1][3]
