It was later used by the Southern Health Board for tuberculosis patients from the mid 1930’s to the mid 1960’s. After this it used as a convalescent home and care hospital but closed in 1988.
It was purchased in 1998 and the owner subsequently set about restoring a significant section of the main house, as well as installing new heating, plumbing and electrics.
Earlier this year, Deputy Michael Healy Rae called on the HSE to explore the possibilities of purchasing the property for use for further public residential care for older people. However, the HSE confirmed at the time that they had no plans to purchase Edenburn.
