About Us

Ronald McDonald House Ireland was founded on a simple belief. When a child is seriously ill, family should be close.

In 2004, we opened our first House in Crumlin to support families whose children were receiving specialist care far from home.

At a time when parents were facing long hospital stays, unfamiliar cities and real financial pressure, the need was clear. Families needed a place to stay that felt safe, practical and human.

Our Story

Since opening, we have supported 5,413 families and provided over 117,000 nights of accommodation.

Our Impact

Every year, families travel from every corner of Ireland to stay with us while their child receives specialist care.

Our Team

Our staff work day in, day out to support families during some of the most difficult moments of their lives.
