- In the first video of our recent trip to Ireland, we are looking inside a forgotten asylum with beautiful decay. Power functioned through parts of the structure somehow which was one of the unexpected discoveries we made in the gigantic facility.

Nice stuff guys, good that you're so respectful to the property and sympathetic to its' purposes, well done
The sad truth about many of these institutions in ireland that many healthy and sane people were committed by family members over money land and inheritance. A.priest or cop was all that was needed to finish the job
Not true. An appalling and shocking myth that shows the total ignorance re mental illness and how it was hidden because of social stigma. No one outside the family would have any idea about mental illness therein. There was and is a high incidence of such illness and disability in Ireland because of intermarriage in small isolated communities. Now these folk are cared for in the community; then they were committed as there were not the meds to cope otherwise.
@@islanddweller3674 -Not to mention pregnant women who committed the horrendous sin of not being married. Clearly a menace to decent society, and should be locked up and have their children taken away.....apparently.
Search on this: ' Tuam mother and baby home'.....800 death certificates and zero graves. Whoops. Still, you can't arrest a Nun.
@@islanddweller3674 the dangerous lunactics act of 1853 led to many innocent people sectioned over family feuds. All it required was an accusation and they would be sent in front of 2 justice of peaces and then sectioned off without ever being put in front of a doctor.
@@islanddweller3674 what an ignorant statement . you clearly havent a clue.
i know i used to work in one
My dad worked here in 1962
on his first day on the job he got punched out by an inmate
he then met many people who were there for no reason at all
one guy couldnt sleep so used to walk at night
he got put away
many got put there for land or other things
some were just ordinary people who were a bit "odd"
Dad spent 3 years there and it affected him the rest of his life
his biggest fear was losing his mind
oddly enough dementia took hold and we could laugh about it
If you think that mentality of putting people away for the great good was only for bygone days
think again
The covid thing is making many lose their shit and seek similar sanctions..........
Big respect to your da pal. Most people need to know that the 50s and 60s in Ireland was a dark place and even thought it's tried to be covered up. These old asylums and the mother and baby homes and the memories the people here at the endure will remain forever and should be learned about.
Yes you are right and if we don't remember this. It will happen again.
where in ireland was this shithole built?
For all wondering where this is , St Brigid's Hospital, Ballinasloe,Galway
I may check it out when I'm over that side of the country again. We have st. Senans here in Wexford, the last patients were only moved from there a couple of years ago as the building has been in a state of disrepair for many years beforehand. Beautiful building also, shame to see them wasted
Thank you 🙏🏻
It's better when you don't expose the location this can lead to unwanted vandilism
Actually it is call St. Joseph's and it's located in the city of Limerick
I live next to were st brendens asylum was its now grangegorman Dit
Very cool. I just explored there last March by myself. Jumped the wall and walked right in. The one pink room with the three chairs is still exactly the same!
Beautiful decay and a great explore! I especially loved the shot with the "running man" emergency exit sign at the beginning.
Thank you I like that shot too :3
Courage comes to mind here!!! Whatever the morbid architecture and purpose of the asylum, a lot of unecessary human suffering had taken place and amazes me that the building had never been demolished - possibly awaiting a thorough paranormal investigation like this to come along in the very near future???? its' as if the building and its past inhabitants needed a voice and you have given that to them exceptionally without prejudice and humanitarian inquiry - amazing 👌
The building has had talks of being demolished as apparently it's an "eyesore to the town". In my eyes it's the opposite from what I've seen of inside and outside the asylum compared to the town. It's beautiful especially with the central building with the oxidised copper dome and clock tower
🍃Amazing how such decay, with it's molded covered walls, and nature reclaiming it's grounds, how beautiful it appears in your photos.
Thank you for your awesome narration, of this abandoned and forgotten place.🍃
It’s insane, the decay is so prominent in this place. Thank you :)
Where is it?
Windows 98 on a floppy. This made me smile really I love it. 😃
Thanks for visiting our country! :)
Awesome video guys your videos are quite addictive I can't stop watching them because they are that interesting
Nice to hear that mate, thank you
Interesting as always with great commentary, thank you. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Appreciate the support :)
I worked in one for a few years doing security I hated the place in Limerick
I do not mind other exploring, I just despised vandalism.
Same here!
Love your colored. Really interesting. Can't believe you haven't bin to redbank secure unit? How come?
Love your exploring.
Great find guys great seeing a building where the the decay is all natural
The electrics are a concern as the more the building decays the more likely the risk of a fire
My ♥️ goes out to all the people who suffered in their ! A grand place with such a dark history….
Thanks we need more stuff like this from Ireland 🇮🇪
You’ve got a great channel here lads. Good to see you respect the sites you visit. Subbed.
Great steady camera work. I loved the music and narrative. Thanks
Fantastic explore guys. Left u a like. U done a good job documenting this place. 👍
Your documentation and camera work is awesome...
That's Ireland for you medical records left there . And the power still connected wasting money.
Awesome lads 👌
Cheers mate
From what I can see from the front and the aerial picture It appears to me that I live within 20 minutes of that hospital so time for some history on it. During the 80s you are correct these style of hospitals began to be phased out but you are correct it did close in 2010 but by the 90s it barely had anyone in it.
@Veronica Smith far from Dundrum try across the country in Galway ballinsloe to be specific
Brilliant stuff 👍
great pics, great cut and nice music. Thumbs up is my reaction - Ireland .. 8 Times and never again
than i prefer to film in china
Thank you for the kind words
This facility must have employed hundreds of the locals. As much as I am glad these types of places no longer exist, it must have devastated the local towns when it shut down.
There was 2000 people employed there at its peak. It had its own farm and was totally self sufficient
I’ve walked every single inch of that hospital, on my own. This is the old hospital in Ennis.
That's not Ennis. Its St Brigits in Ballinasloe. Its on the edge of the town on the main road. Very recognisable.
As Irishman with massive homeless Irish dieing on our streets its unacceptable there these buildings rotting, decaying been destroyed vandalised. The church needs use some of there wealth getting these buildings safe liveable to restore people's faith but firstly stop homeless people dieing. Especially wen there is massive wealth held by church. Faith churches dont need wealth as in money. There teaching purpose to feeds souls unite a community is stronger then going threw life alone.👍🇮🇪☘
Awh christ stop trying to pedal your politically biased agenda on sites that have nothing to do with it.
I completely agree
Paul 0neill , as much as I would love to pass off the blame onto the RC church , the ayslums were state run nothing to do with the other infamous institutions.
Presided over by doctors not priests but used as society's dustbins like the others. Unfortunately we will not hear about the abuse that went onto here on healthy & vulnerable patients (or inmates).it was mostly families that committed there members for a large number of reasons , many not honourable but it was a very different era, the same thing can be said about the church abusive institutions. What happened was sick but society as a whole was also complicit.
Seriously.... How, these buildings are huge, near zero insulation, cold, draughts etc.... The costs would be insane..... Sure fill them with this Ukrainian madness too now taking hold.
Ireland is really changing and imo for the worse
That background music ruins it for me
nice one guys, cracking place, potential for some brilliant shots there! love those corridors!
AT LAST SOMETHING ABANDONED IN IRELAND THANKS A MILLION
Thanks a million 👍
It was not always the mad.all too often it was poor,or social out casts waiting to be sent to australia or other british out posts. Father's family came to dig by hand,the Erie canal,then built the r.r going west.then the coal mines of pennsylvania molly mcguire's
I've been watching your vids for awhile now and i only came across this video again now and I'm planning to go to This asylum soon as I'm from Ireland. I was wondering how you got inside? From what I see it's boarded up from the front with gates and stuff (where was window if you look at it form the front)
Liked this video!
thankyou that was great
Are you deliberately not offering the exact name and location of this former asylum? I’m wondering if it’s Our Lady’s Hospital (once known as Ennis Lunatic Asylum)? My great grandfather and two of his siblings died at ELA in 1890 & 1894 - victims of family.
Ballinasloe
Its actually st Brigid's hospital in East co Galway
if the truth be known , all asylums where dark and barbaric . i worked in herrison hospital in dorset for the princes trust back in the early 80s . about 3000 residents at its max . also based next door to st laurences hospital in caterham with the army . this one was investigated by the news of the world newspaper .
One spark and that whole place would burn to the ground
Have You Names Of The Irish Locations?
Amazing find. Again. Please, send us some of your contacts email addresses so we can discuss a collaboration with them. We're exploring Ireland and have never come across these sites. Amazing footage and narration.
This looks like the location of the asylum in 2017 mini-series Acceptable Risk
That place looks insane
Nice vid, like the look of this place... good stuff lads
Thanks mate
Insane people used to be kept in these places. Now they are wandering our streets.
Most of them are now in Government !!
Wow some really cool things to see here, ace video ! It amazes me how these places are just left behind for nature to take it's course
It is very strange - maybe in an attempt to forget about the past endeavours that occurred inside the structure
Well that was creeptastic
More like a prison
Are you braking in or is the door open just wondered
great stuff !
Thanks man!
You know Ireland is not in the UK.
Hi, where abouts was this?
Hi, were the documents relating to patients??
Now we just let the mad and dangerous people walk the streets....
We really are turning into a mini America luckily just missing the guns.
Wow. Cracking video as always chaps.
Thank you mate
Where is this in Ireland?
Co Galway
Fantastic !
Thank you :D
Where is this located
St Brigid's Hospital, Ballinasloe,Galway
@@anjatoledo8078 the reason locations aren't given out is because it attracts vandals. I've been to this place three times and the last time I was there vandals had wrecked the place.
Some cracking stuff that. Let's see what else you got.
Cheers pal, all coming soon
I just despised the dumbed down sound effects.
Who was in control of it England or Ireland?
Irish government
@@Satsusss and english for a time
Colette. English Up to time of Independence 100 Years ago. After that the Irish government
England until Ireland became independent, then the Irish govt, then the Western Health Board and now HSE (and I think the HSE still owns it)
Great Video and very informative, where is this place, i do a bit of exploring myself, check my channel, would love a visit i can email you my details if you would share its location privately as we do not want it available to anyone who may cause damage etc etc.. thanks
Ennius Ireland 😢
Why did someone add this to a anime playlist?
Where is this?
Ballinasloe
When the abandoned asylum ere is in better condition than todays physch wards in ireland...a toast to mental wellbeing
Nice vid, but Ireland isn't the UK!
Smyth.. I think we got that!
@@doloresaquines1529 The uploader didn't get it.
Hi what is the name of this place and where is it.
Ballinasloe
What’s the name of the first asylum
Put all the people from Frances in here
what county
Ballinasloe, Co.Galway
Galway
Where is this
Once again, Ballinasloe!
Look lads, stop runnjbg around like spanked arses and actually let us see the bloody asylum. Slow down, stop, take it all in, instead of running around.
Are you a bit allergic to oxygen
You should do St. Kevin's mental asylum in Cork City Ireland, it's way creepier and haunted as fuck I'm sure you would get shit loads of views
much better with sound off. doesn't need so much opinionated narrating nor any music at all...sorry
Much appreciated ♥️
