The hospital, which was designed by Robinson Keefe Devane,[2] was intended to provide the newly developed Dublin suburb of Tallaght with its own general hospital, by relocating services from three smaller sites in Dublin's city centre: theAdelaide Hospital, theMeath Hospital and theNational Children's Hospital.[3] Aboard of directors was established by theMinister for Health in 1980.[4] It was built at a cost of £140 million[5] and opened as theAdelaide and Meath Hospital, Dublin, incorporating the National Children's Hospital (AMNCH) on 21 June 1998.[3]

The Children's Services Department changed its name to Children's Health Ireland at Tallaght as part of the rebranding of three hospitals under the Children's Health Ireland banner on 1 January 2019.[10]
