Home for the elderly to be built on land owned by Mount Anville order Society of the Sacred Heart says schools will not be affected by development

The religious order that ran the Mount Anville private schools in south Dublin for generations has unveiled plans to develop housing for elderly people on a portion of its lands near Stillorgan.
The move by the Society of the Sacred Heart, which established a convent and schools in the area in 1865, reflects the ageing of the congregation and a dwindling number of nuns. It follows long discussion within the Irish-Scottish Province of the congregation to settle on an appropriate use for lands at Mount Annville and a “legacy and social dividend” for a community in which it has had a presence for more than 150 years. The province, which once had 270 sisters, consists today of 45 retired sisters whose average age is 82.
