  • The Donegal District Lunatic Asylum
    ‘A WORLD APART’ – The Donegal District Lunatic Asylum Number of Registrar Name Where Chargable This exhibition curated by the Donegal County Museum and the Archives Service, Donegal County Council in association with the HSE was inspired by the ending of the provision of residential mental health services at the St. Conal’s Hospital site. The hospital has been an integral part of Letterkenny and County Donegal for 154 years. Often shrouded by mythology and stigma, the asylum fulfilled a necessary role in society but one that is currently undergoing radical change.This exhibition, by putting into context the earliest history of mental health services in Donegal hopes to raise public awareness of mental health. The exhibition is organised in conjunction with Little John Nee’s artist’s residency in An Grianan Theatre and his performance of “The Mental”. This project is supported by PEACE III Programme managed for the Special EU Programmes Body by Donegal County Council. Timeline This Timeline covers the period of the reforms in the mental health laws. 1745 - Dean Jonathan Swift: 1907 - Eugenics Education Society: On his death he left money for the building of Saint Patrick’s This Society was established to promote population control Hospital (opened 1757), the first in Ireland to measures on undesirable genetic traits, including mental treat mental health patients. defects. 1774 - An Act for Regulating Private Madhouses: 1908 Report by Royal Commission This act ruled that there should be inspections of asylums once on Care of Feeble-Minded a year at least, but unfortunately, this only covered London. 1913 Mental Deficiency Act: 1800 - Pressure for reform is growing: This Act established the Board of Control to replace the Lunacy This is sparked off by the terrible conditions in London’s Commission.

    Ar Misean le Chéile Uain Atúsaithe Seoladh na Litreach ag gairm Sionaid Deoisiúil Luimneach 2015 Inniu, Lá ‘le Íde, Pátrún na deoise, Máthair Altrama na naomh, Máthair Altrama Bhreandán naofa. I gComaoin na Naomh gabhaimid buíochas do Naomh Íde agus d’ár nEaspag Breandán. Braithim go bhfuil an litir seo agus an t-ullmhúchán go dtí seo don Sionad ina gníomh láidir aitheantais do na h-iarrachtaí ar athnuachain sa deoise seo ón Dara Comhairle. Mo bhuíochas do Éamonn Mac Giobúin, Karen Kiely, Margaret san oifig agus Micheál de Bhál anseo i gColáiste Mhuire gan Smal, do Chonradh na Gaeilge, Pobal an Aifrinn, do FÁS, do An Sagart. Ceann de mhistéirí an Chreidimh ab annsa le Íde agus naoimh eile ag tús na Críostaíochta in Éirinn ab ea an tAiséirí. Ar Leathanach 20 den Litir seo cuireann ár nEaspag an mistéir seo in ár láthair i bhfocail Phápa Proinsias: Ní eachtra a bhaineann leis an aimsir chaite amháin atá san Aiséirí. Tá cumhacht bheo inti atá tar eis leathadh ar fud an domhain. San áit ina samhalaítear gach rud a bheith marbh, bíonn borradh faoi comharthaí d’aiseirí... Ciallaíonn creideamh i nDia, creideamh go bhfuil grá fíor aige dúinn agus go bhfuil sé beo, gur féidir leis teacht i gcabhair orainn go rúndiamhrach, agus nach dtréigeann sé sinn agus go dtarraingíonn sé maitheas as an olc lena chumhacht agus lena chumas cruthaitheach gan teorainn... Beireann Aiseirí Chríost síolta an domhain nua sin; fiú má gearrtar siar iad, fásann siad arís, mar tá an Aiséirí cheana féin fite fuaite i ndlúth agus i n-inneach na staire seo mar ní shaothar in aisce a bhí in Aiséirí Chríost.
