The Bethany Home, Orwell Road, Rathgar
Bethany opened in 1921 in Blackhall Place, Dublin. It moved to Rathgar, in 1934, where it closed in 1972. It incorporated the Prison Gate and Midnight Missions and their work in admitting female ex-criminals and prostitutes. Convicted Protestant females and young people were detained also in the Bethany Home.
