Traffic Restrictions

To help ensure peoples safety and security, St James’s Hospital has introduced a traffic management strategy to reduce the ‘through traffic’ to the hospital.

This means access through the Rialto Gate is restricted. There is access only for staff with valid permits, emergency vehicles and Dublin Bus.

James’s Street entrance to the hospital is now the main public access point.

There are traffic restrictions at the James’s Street entrance at peak traffic times but this will not affect genuine visitors to the hospital as intercoms which are monitored in the hospital’s security control room are in operation.

For emergency vehicles or Dublin Bus, there are no restrictions at all.

To gain access to the hospital’s emergency department, private vehicles should use the intercom located at the access barrier.
Driving & Car Parking

There are a limited number of parking spaces at the hospital and we encourage the use of public transport where possible.

There is an underground public car park for patients and visitors with 367 spaces. It is located off Junction 2.

There is direct access to the main hospital and reception from the car park using the lift or stairs.

Access to St. Luke’s Radiation Oncology Centre at St. James’s Hospital is via the Route 2 link corridor from the main hospital. There is limited additional surface parking at Junction 2.

There are two parking payment machines. One is inside the main entrance to the hospital and the second is in the underground car park next to the lifts. You may also pay at the office near the exit of the underground car park.

There are a number of disabled parking spaces in the underground car park and also at Junction 3 and at other locations around the hospital. You must display a Disabled Driver sticker.

Car parking at St. James’s is managed by an external provider. In the interest of safety and to ensure the flow of traffic around the hospital, all vehicles parked unofficially are clamped and a release fee applies.

If you need help, there are car park staff on duty to assist you.

Travel 2 Care Scheme

The National Cancer Control Programme (NCCP) understands that some patients referred for treatment and care to St. Luke’s Radiation Oncology Centre at St. James’s Hospital may need help towards meeting some of their travel costs.

The NCCP funds a scheme entitled Travel2Care, which is administered by the Irish Cancer Society. The aim of the scheme is to help patients with some travel costs if they have a genuine financial difficulty in meeting the costs of travelling for appointments to the St. Luke’s Radiation Oncology Centre at St. James’s Hospital and are living over 30km away.

The Travel2Care scheme is being implemented on a phased basis, consistent with the transfer of cancer services to the designated cancer centres and satellite centre.

Travel2Care may help towards some of the costs of public transport such as trains, buses or other private transport costs such as petrol and parking. Patients can put the funding received towards the transportation they are using to get to St. Luke’s Radiation Oncology Centre at St. James’s Hospital.

To avail of assistance through this scheme, an application must be made by a healthcare professional in the Centre. For more information please contact:
