Although physically situated in Dublin, elements of the National Centre will be accessible in other parts of Ireland, and abroad. The National Centre campus will, by design, be both retrospective and forward facing. It will both recognise the disadvantage experienced by vulnerable women and children in the past and represent an active commitment to tackling disadvantage in the present day.
