Clontarf Hospital hosts a Sunday lunchtime Alcoholics Anonymous meeting at noon, held within the hospital grounds on Blackheath Park in Clontarf. Despite the setting, this is a standard AA group meeting rather than a treatment session, and it is closed, meaning it is intended for people who have a desire to stop drinking rather than being open to the general public. A midday slot on a Sunday can suit those who prefer to start the week with a meeting rather than end it, and it sits well alongside the group's namesake sessions elsewhere in Clontarf. As always in AA, there is no fee and no need to book. Wheelchair access within the hospital grounds has not been confirmed for this particular meeting room, so anyone with mobility needs may want to ask in advance.
Do I need to be a hospital patient to attend this meeting?
No. It is an open-to-members AA meeting held on the hospital grounds, not a session limited to patients or staff.
Is the meeting free and do I need to book?
Yes, it is free, and no booking is required, as with any Alcoholics Anonymous meeting.
Who can come to this meeting?
It is a closed meeting, meaning it is for people with a desire to stop drinking rather than open to family or the wider public.
