The proposal will consist of a replacement Primary Care Centre incorporating an ancillary pharmacy to be known as "The Haddington Road Primary Care Centre" at the junction of Haddington Road/Eastmoreland Lane, Dublin 4.

The main entrance to the Primary Care Centre will be off Haddington Road, with a second access provided off Eastmoreland Lane. To facilitate the new building the proposed works will involve- (i) The demolition and clearance of the 3 storey post 1950's concrete and brick buildings formerly known as "Baggot Community Hospital" fronting Haddington road.
