Place & story
A new clinic in 2008
Ballinderry Clinic’s own account records how a group of consultants purchased land beside the old Sacred Heart Hospital to create a new consultation facility for the midlands. Mary Harney, then Minister for Health, officially opened it in 2008. The clinic’s location page places it on the hospital grounds, reached by an avenue from the Ballinderry area. Its establishment added another chapter to the locality’s association with healthcare. [2] [4]
What the 2025 groundworks revealed
Deirdre Murphy’s report records archaeological monitoring of a Ballinderry Road development from January to June 2025, following surveys and testing in 2019. The excavated topsoil overlay boulder clay containing pockets of sand and silt. No archaeological features or finds were identified in the monitored work. That result describes this particular development site within Ballinderry, rather than establishing that the whole townland lacks archaeology. [3]
