| Summary: | The Royal Hibernian Military School, Phoenix Park, Dublin, [located on the site of what is now site of St Mary’s Hospital] was originally known as the Hibernian Asylum, acting as a feeder school to the British Army. It was created by the Hibernian Society, a philanthropic organisation established following the Seven Years War. [The Society petitioned the King for a charter, which was granted]. The Society's aim was to assist the orphaned children of soldiers who died in the war, its' services later being extended to the destitute families of soldiers leaving Ireland for overseas service. The school closed in 1924. |
