It was acquired by Harlequin Healthcare, a company controlled by Gerry Conlan who also owned Aut Even Hospital in Kilkenny and St. Joseph's Hospital, Sligo, for €50 million in July 2006.

After Conlan's business got into financial difficulties, the National Asset Management Agency took control of the hospital in 2010.

In January 2014, it was announced that the financial support from National Asset Management Agency propping up the hospital operations was being withdrawn and that the High Court had approved a request to appoint a liquidator.

The hospital was bought by the Health Service Executive for a reported €11 million in September 2014. It re-opened as a short-stay rehabilitation hospital known as Mount Carmel Community Hospital in September 2015, operated by Mowlam Healthcare for the Health Service Executive.
