St. Patrick's Home,
Navan Road
St. Patrick's Home on the Navan Road was initially called Pelletstown and was originally set up to provide for children in poverty in Dublin during the late 1800's. It was run by the Sisters of Charity of St Vincent de Paul, (now called the Daughters of Charity). According to Mike Millotte's Banished Babies, St. Patrick's Home was involved in the secret export of 254 children to the US for adoption from the 1940's to the 1970's. St. Patrick's closed in 1985.
