- In this video, we attempt to explore an abandoned psychiatric hospital in Ireland with rare architecture, hospital equipment and working electricity. The site has high security including CCTV and onsite guards, making it a difficult task. Unfortunately, our exploration was cut short by the Irish police!

The Police were the nicest you have met on your explorations, respect both ways
They are garda not police they are guardians of the peace an are sound because its Ireland and its one degree of separation
I deliver to this place a few times a week and often wondered what it looked like, thanks for the insight 😂
@@Paddyman8869 The Gardaí are police officers, as defined by any English dictionary. The literal translation of An Garda Síochána as Guardians of the Peace does not appear anywhere in official documentation in English, and they are simply the national police and security service. Whether guards as a whole are sound or not is defo up for debate, Ive met plenty of sound guards and plenty of bollockses. Youre being a pedant though, and no one likes a pedant.
@@mqxogames they have violated their oath so they can rot and no one likes gardas from the people on estates to farmers not once in my life has anyone said they like them
@@Paddyman8869 this comment aged well...
fair play to the Guards, they were a sound bunch.
That is extremely good policing. Something that's becoming increasingly rare these days.
The Gardai did us proud. That's exactly how this situation should have been handled and it was a credit to them.
I’m actually a nurse in this hospital and I’ve been begging security to let me into the old hospital building for months, thanks for the tour of st itas
I work nextdoor at the new Central Mental Hospital👍🏼
You do a great service to the community by sharing these abandoned buildings - there is always risk of demolition, so you capture moments of precious history
most of these buildings are listed and cannot be demolished, only newer blocks can be, but they can be converted into different things such as flats etc
Had 2 family members die in this asylum, my great great grandfather was one. His listed death is brain atrophy which im assuming may have been dementia? Very sad place with a sad history
wow 22:05
if you look at the mannerisms and the body language those police were polite and were not hostile. that was refreshing to watch
Usually the case with gardai. They are pretty chill until your making a disturbance
American Police are the aggressive shits.
we have a very community based Garda (police) service
St Ita's...
Here is a story. I lived in Howth, County Dublin, in the early 2000's. I was in a shared house, which had a radio which we tuned into the most eclectic mix of music you could imagine. One song would be a melody, calming, perhaps from the 50's, then next could be the Sex Pistols, or heavy metal, it was just nuts... and yes it was St Ita's hospital radio.
It has certainly brought back a flood of memories, and yes, the Gardai are mostly like this from my experiences with them.
To the Urbandoned lads... this is one of your best videos, just brilliant, I do like these glimpses into the world that is unseen around us
I enjoy watching videos about abandoned asylums. I was a patient (in 2006-7) in one of the last few asylums in England. It was being closed down while I was there, at least half had been shut for years and was already decayed and overgrown. It was quite eerie being the last ward remaining in a huge asylum site!
Very chilled out Gardai!
This reminds me of an old asylum in wexford, that is being renovated into apartments at the moment. Same era or architecture, same red brick. Honestly I could never live in a place with that kind of history, pretty much torture. I'm glad the Guards were so good to ye, they do tend to be quite a laid back group in general.
St sennans.my old school was across the river .cbs. had to see that place everyday for 6 years.always gave me the creeps
@@andrewmoody465I went to the CBS too but they’re probably talking about the one near Wexford General
One thing about the Garda is theyre brilliant to work with if you havent pissed them off. 🤣 They're practically chilled and very rarely approach with an aggressive attitude. Brilliant video too.
Those policemen were so nice! ❤
Great video, too. 🥰
Well dealt with by the Police
So sad to see these grand buildings left to rot.
Amazing place and amazing police!!!
They must punish only criminals.
You both have done us proud it’s hard good sound policing the Guards treated you well and respect was given both ways your very considerate and you both go all out to show us inside what we couldn’t see and I thank you both for that keep doing what your doing because your inspiring so many
Hi lads ….. Great video …. I worked in Portrane for 6 years …. Studied the history of the place …. Happy to share my insights if you ever want to go back ….. Shouldn’t be too hard to get permission to enter properly …. I even still have an original set of keys
The "." key on your keyboard seems to be faulty.
@@paulanderson7796 As are your gonads.
@@NedNew Don't give up the day job. You're not funny.
Those Police were really nice , good on them . And cool video
Good for the gardai having a good time with it
The scale is huge, the birdsong adds to the atmosphere. I can't imagine having to stay there. The grounds looked really well kept.
Great video and top marks to the police, that's how to interact with people.
Fair play to the coppers, top lads.
Fair play lads. This place has long fascinated me and I’m delighted to get a glimpse inside! Also those guards were so sound, dealt with it exactly as they should have 👏
Great video, pleased that the guards/police were ok with you all.
Such awesome respect from the police. Awesome video as always boys!
Amazing! The octagonal hall was something else. Thanks for bringing to the world these hidden treasures.
Been an Irish man Irish police or (Gardai pronounced Gardee. As in Plural) are fun once you grant them respect. They like a good laugh. It's a wonder you didn't ask to pose with them first know you got snippets of them. But respect to you guys. I have no doubt you garnered more that 4 Irish police as fans but Hundreds. As police will tell stories. Well done guys great coverage and at least you walked away with happy memories of another trip here in Ireland
Hello to the Irish Garda that were very nice & subbed too.🙂
The effort you guys put in is insane! Really great work once again!
Half abandoned places like this are so strange and the scale of this one is incredible. Some really beautiful architecture!
And some super nice police, what a change!
Awesome policing. Good humoured, clearly realised the intentions were reasonable. The lads handled themselves so well. If only every encounter could work out like this.
I noted the same thing a few months ago. My comment is now buried. It's proper conciliatory policing, not confrontational at all.
A cheeky " four new subscribers " there ! Epic 🤣 Great video as usual team 👍
I absolutely love Irish police there so laid-back Southern Ireland police
Fair play to you lads , even got An Garda Siochana on board brilliant, great video thanks.💚
There’s always leeway - you met the right policemen at the right time (quiet evening, warm weather, not just before their shift ended, etc).
You also answered their call and didn’t run - a wise decision!
If one isn’t nearly without fault, one would run. You didn’t and took ownership of your actions that didn’t include harming the property.
Often there are environmental dangers like asbestos and dioxins (in oil, grease, ..) and lead paint - but it‘s on you if you get harmed.
It‘s not you bashing windows, tearing down things and stealing random artefacts.
It‘s not you who‘s vandalising such interesting and intriguing places.
See the difference? Do harm to property -> you‘d have ran away.
Property harms you? That’s all on you.
Thank you for being responsible, you have a new Patreon now 😊
In general, the Irish police are the nicest in Europe!! My Dad was an Irish Garda for 30 years.. :)
Wow, those cops were incredibly cool. Wouldn't happen like that here in the states
Yeah. No one has guns here, not even most of the cops, makes a big difference day to day.
Guys that was excellent Thanks for another great video, keep them coming
Great explore guys, thanks for sharing 😀
that place is huge, thanks for sharing. those are some cool cops.
9:07 Those blue walls are gorgeous, Can't believe that hasn't rotted away, probably will take years too!
Amazing video! Thank you. I grew up very close to st Ita’s. Both my parents whom have passed worked in the hospital, as did most of the community. I remember attending mass there and playing basketball in the big hall. I can also remember the residents that were allowed walk the grounds. We know them by name and would chat with them briefly if we met them. Some trip down memory lane thank you so much ❤
Great video chaps, love Your videos, hi from south africa.
Great explore guys! These asylums are always interesting to see, but the history of what went on in them is appalling! Shame you got caught but you were very lucky they were so nice! That’s us Irish folk for ya! 😉
Thank you for this video of an amazing historical building. The main hall was a big surprise with those stained glass windows, lots of parquatry flooring throughout. I would imagine the history when it was a working asylum to be horrendous to say the least. Removing he asbestos and renovating these buildings woukd cost a fortune but it would be worth saving as it really is beautiful architecture. 💕🇦🇺
The octagonal room was stunning, great shots in there, shame you weren’t able to film some more of the site. Nice job
Fantastic video as always!! 😁
Amazing, the building is definitely worth showing..one of your best videos...the architecture is fantastic, wish they would allow tours or groups the chance to film and document their account of these buildings in the name of history, and not have the threat of being caught, there would be less vandalism and more appreciation of what is in front of our eyes...
I just fell in love with irish policemen
Excellent as usual.
Majestic! Exciting explore…
Surely someone is mowing that grass in such a neat pattern under that Oak tree.💜
My heart goes out to areas like this ; appreciate all your work showing us.
It was nice to see you both before the ferry. 🙂 This was an unusual & interesting film from you.
~ Take care & I know you respect these old places, they may seem empty, but still have a Soul. 😻🏴
I live 20 minutes from there my pal worked as a security guard for a couple of years got the chance to have a look around it's fantastic place well done guys 👌👍
What a place love it brilliant explore how sound was the police. Proper nice guys
You were lucky with those Police officers but approaching them in a relaxed way and not trying to run clearly would have made a big difference and in any case it was too dark for you to see much more. loved the octagon room
cool video!
I actually nearly caught you guys once,couple of years back you did a video on a 1700s abandoned mansion in co Clare,i was the caretaker/security at the time,i think i might have even met you when you were heading back to your car...to be fair no harm done and the video you produced was excellent! although we had a slight uptick in visitors after it aired,i did catch a few but i was always crap at playing the big bad security guard,even ended up giving a couple of them guided tours!
unfortunately since you visited the house has gone downhill rapidly due to our delightful traveller community helping themselves to a lot of the copper rendering the heating system useless
and beyond economical repair.
i enjoy the channel and have subscribed.
kind regards
Ted.
What lovely folk the Irish are! Good on you for allowing these fine fellows to go about their exploits - although I suspect you would have enjoyed the thrill of the chase. I'll be honest, though I'd never have the stomach to try this for myself, I do wish there were some way of getting permits for this sort of thing (could be done with a fairly minimal risk assessment if the people doing the exploration take personal liability) which would open up a whole realm of possibilities before old buildings fall into too serious disrepair and/or end up demolished.
You said it yourself - "personal liability"... "It's the _insurance!_ " Thanks to the swingeing premiums, nobody is willing to take a risk on _anything_ (Almost no competition in the Irish market). 'This is why we can't have nice things...' You'd think signing a waiver (like you suggest) would do the job, but honestly, I don't think the type of bureaucrats you'd have to deal with would have the mental bandwidth for the necessary imagination!
Really enjoyed this
About time someone did this well done lads
What an amazing building!
Dam those some cool coppers
I grew up in portrane. Played football as a child in that amazing sports hall.
The Gardai are generally fairly sound about this sort of stuff, they'd be on the lookout for pilfering my members of the travelling community, would not be at all fussed about you guys getting some footage around the place.
that place looks cool sorry that you didn't get to explore it all i was at that place ages ago but i didn't take any chances of getting myself in but i hope you get more good places
Guard “sound, sure look it” 😂😂😂
Soundest bobbys I’ve ever seen
Please be ( physically) careful lads. Got shivers seeing you all up on that roof.
They do this all the time, it’s part of the job, no keys under the mat.
Iwatched this yesterday fellas but forgot to comment.I was in ireland and got caught wasnt nice to me,but yer theses guys were cool.What a spooky place,even with the emergancy lights on.And the flaking paint was stunning.they litt you up putting the lights on,,been there👌
Excellent Explore Quiet A Large Facility, New TO The Channel, Stay Safe ,Good Luck
It hasn't been abandoned that long. The local football team st. Itas train on the grounds. I'm 28 and when I was young and the weather was bad we did our football training in that main hall
As someone who grew up next to this thing its mad to see the inside i absolutely love it
St Itas hospital complex is the site of the new building for the Central Mental Hospital. This is the secure facility for those found not guilty by reason of insanity and prisoners who are mentally ill. I think a high level of security is probably due to this.
"sound", "shure look it", "you know this place is haunted lads". God I'm happy to be irish
class guys!
Fair play to those guards, wish there were more like them, especially up north
Thought I should mention also, it could go the way of Belvoir hospital up in Belfast, that's being turned into a residential area with apartments from the old ward blocks of a similar architectural design to that asylum.
0:33 No way! There was a basketball court at this asylum?!
I don't think there is any chance of the roof crashing down at 13:35. ... The Victorians knew how to design structures and it has been there for over a hundred years now, and will still be there in another hundred years !! .... I don't think the tank at 15:54 is a jacuzzi, as this would have been a luxury and not found in an institute like this - but instead used for cold water baths, known as hydrotherapy treatment. .... I love the beautiful architecture and history of these old asylums. ..... Thank you for posting
👍Well done guys !!!
You are crazy guys, clambing up to and over the roofs, like this. Do your parents know? I bet they are scared. Wish you luck, though. Your videos are incredible 😀😻
what a waste of a decentish building ,nice policemen too ,
Love your showxx very professional. Thank you. Ava Ault
11:00 mark. I have that stove in my studio apartment!
note to self: urbex in ireland
It’s a real shame these buildings fall in to disrepair hopefully they’ll find a developer to save them..
Cops were pretty cool though not like uk police that’ll find any excuse to get you on something…
Nice explore though👍👍
Thankfully mental health has moved on and in many cases improved. Though we still,hear of some examples of poor treatment on the news. Muckamore abbey in Northern Ireland for instance. Earmarked for closure in 2024- one for your list of places to explore in the future maybe?
Weird, the main hall looks like Westminister Hall.
Awesome
Now we just leave the lunatics roam free. Nice one Govt.
Didn't even know this place existed as thought it was that edifice on the way into Cork that keeps cathching on fire at night. I'd recommend session 9 horror or cropsey docu for the real asylum aesthetic where the poor mental patients were tortured as the psychiatric services were treating ppl with symptoms of spiritual/demonic possession to this day only shagged from drugs they dish out🤕
There's sections of it still in use today and it's a very active site. The place used to have its own local TV broadcast station back in the 70s
Used to do soccer training in that hall years ago too, we were charged with pain of death if we went up onto the stage as kids.
Presumably it was an in~house cable system?
@richiehoyt8487 what ever they used to broadcast the locals would be able to pick it up too, the radio station is still going strong today too.
@@thedreadpirateroberts7172 That puzzles me - don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to imply that you're mis~remembering, it's just that Ireland (the Republic, that is) didn't even get a second TV channel, or radio channel for that matter, until 1978 and '79 respectively; and the State monopoly on (terrestrial, over~the~air) broadcasting wouldn't come to an end until the frag~end of the '80's, with no exceptions (that I'm aware of) for hospital radio, college radio, or anything like that, let alone television, other than a radio outside broadcast unit that would turn up in some village or little town for a week, providing a brief dose of community radio, and I imagine hospitals would have been part of that remit... Well, _legal_ broadcasting, at any rate. That's probably the key to it; as you no doubt remember, Ireland had literally dozens of pirate radio stations in the '70's & '80's, some of whom were giving RTE a serious run for their money, along with illegal television deflector systems transposing British TV channels to rural areas outside of the overspill zones near the Northern Irish border and the East coast. Given that the government all but turned a blind eye to these set~ups, it hardly seems a stretch that they would ignore a low powered hospital radio or TV service as long as it wasn't causing interference. Even today, whether or not these pre~existed Covid or even if they are _still_ around, I know not, but certainly until very recently many churches were broadcasting mass to housebound or 'locked down' parishioners via CB, which I believe is legally sketchy, Citizens' Band or not! The only other possibility I can think of is that the cable provider in the area 'threw it in' with their package..? 🤷🏻
Incidentally, some other chap in the comments mentioned that he listened to the hospital's radio station when he lived in Howth in the Noughties. Apparently, they played a great variety of music. From what I gathered, one might well hear Frank Patterson segueing into Slayer - I bet that must've made the patients heads swim!
@@thedreadpirateroberts7172 I _did_ respond to your reply some hours ago, but _>`Pffft..! ‘
Nice video. What's the intro music?
Used to be used as a cente for Tuberculosis back in the 50s and 60s. It's in Enniscorthy.
Its in Co. Dublin
Sound sure look lads just tip on there 😂😂🇮🇪
I'm glad to see the HSE seem to have learned their lesson, after local yobbos burned a similar disused asylum in Cork to ashes getting on for a decade ago now, on account of them cheaping out on security.
They’re called the Gardai🙌🏻
A perfect ending to the closest you could get to a perfect exploration given the extremely challenging security
Great video, but please clean the dust off that camera sensor! A rocket blower should be enough to get rid of such large specks.
Grade work boys 😂
Love
Great cops 👏 If only all cops were like them elsewhere
