Administrative History ↴
The Dublin Sanitary Association was founded in 1872 to improve the 'very defective sanitary arrangements in Dublin'. The four main objectives of the Association were to educate the public about sanitary matters, direct attention to areas where existing powers were not fully exercised, monitor the course of sanitary legislation and to form a body in which the public would have confidence and which could act on behalf of the public. The Sanitary Association was run by a committee, with a treasurer, honorary secretaries and a President. The Association lasted into the 1910s, and throughout its existents was actively involved in raising awareness of, and improving, sanitary conditions in Dublin. -
