Invisible faces, forgotten souls - Continuing a Legacy of Care
Roebuck House is entering a new chapter. Once a place of service under the stewardship of the Sisters of Jesus and Mary, the historic property will soon be thoughtfully restored and transformed into a purpose-built hostel, offering safety, stability, and dignity to those in need.
Full planning permission was granted in November 2025, and pre-commencement conditions are now being submitted to the Council for approval.
Construction is due to begin in the first quarter of 2026, and Roebuck House will continue its legacy of compassion by providing meaningful support to the community it has long served, by March 2027.
The Development
THOUGHTFULLY DESIGNED LIVING
24 Ensuite Rooms
Every space is designed to provide comfort, privacy, and a sense of calm, with shared areas that nurture community and connection.
Restored Historic Architecture
Guided by the wishes of the local community, Roebuck House will restore a cherished historic building, creating a space that honours its legacy while providing safety, dignity, and hope for those in need.
Landscaped Gardens
Nature plays an important role in wellbeing, with future gardens featuring biodiverse planting, inviting seating areas, safe pathways, and a peaceful, restorative atmosphere.
Opening March 2027!
The future hostel will provide 24 ensuite bedrooms within a beautifully restored historic building and a modern, sustainable extension. Designed with comfort, dignity, and safety in mind, Roebuck Grove House will offer residents both privacy and community — a place to rest, rebuild, and belong.
Honouring a Legacy of Care
Roebuck House has always been a place rooted in service and compassion, and this redevelopment proudly continues that legacy for a new generation.
A Connected Neighbourhood with Every Advantage
Goatstown combines the comfort of a close-knit suburban community with the convenience of city living.
This is more than accommodation — it’s a place to rebuild, connect and feel at home. A safe and supportive environment, in one of Dublin’s most accessible and well-connected neighbourhoods, where people from all walks of life are valued and included.
