An investigation into the deterioration of historic buildings in the St Mary s Hospital campus in Dublin s Phoenix Park has been launched by Dublin City Council.
The Health Service Executive has posted warning notices on buildings at the site which was originally the Royal Hibernian Military School built in the 18th Century.
The city council s Conservation Officer is investigating as the original buildings are protected structures. Owners or occupiers of Protected Structures are legally required to make sure that the structure does not become endangered through neglect, decay, damage or harm, the council said in a statement.
There are also modern buildings in the campus which houses 150 nursing home beds, and a separate 48-bed step-down hospital for older people.
