Dublin | Hospital

Parking is in high demand, particularly during busy weekday periods. Please allow plenty of time to park and get to your destination. You may wish to consider using public transport if you are planning to visit during busy times. 

If you wish to drive to the hospital, there is both multi-storey and on-street parking available nearby.

Multi-Storey Car Parks

Mater Private patients can use the Mater Hospital’s public car park, located on Eccles Street. Coming from Dorset Street, it is on the right-hand side. Coming from Berkeley Road it is on the left-hand side. Look for the Euro Car Park sign. The car park has 440 spaces - please note the car park can get full during busy periods. 

The multi-storey car park is operated by Euro car parks. You can book a parking space online. 

To get to Mater Private from the car park, you need to walk a different route due to building works which will continue for the rest of 2022.

You should exit from the main entrance of the Mater Misericordiae University Hospital on North Circular Road. Turn right in the direction of Mater Private Hospital. Turn right again and walk along the pavement past the Mater Accident and Emergency (A&E) entrance, alongside the Mater Private building. Once you get on to Eccles street turn left and walk a short distance to the main entrance of Mater Private Network.

Please do not use the ramp to exit the car park, there is no pedestrian access to this route, it's for cars only and is not safe for pedestrians.

Other nearby off-street parking facilities include Wellington Street Car Park (off Dorset Street), Parnell Street Car Park, and Clery’s Car Park in Marlborough Street.

On-street parking

Parking is very limited in the area. There is on-street parking around the Hospital, particularly off the North Circular Road and Dorset Street. All on-street parking is metered. Always check the street signs to ensure you can park in a particular place and to check rates.
