Old TB sanatoriums in Limerick or cork

Hi Does anyone know the name of the old TB sanatoriums in Limerick or Cork.My aunt was sent from the Good Shepard orphanage in Limerick to a TB sanatorium where she died but ? where. MY eldery dad said it was in Doneral ( i dont know if the spelling is correct as there doesnot appear to such a place} in Cork as there was no sanatoriums in Limerick. It would have been in the 1930s/1940s. Many thanks Bernadette

The TB Sanatorium that you possible are looking for is called HEATHERSIDE in Doneraile,Co.Cork.As this is located near Cork /Limerick county border approx half way between Limerick City and Cork City.This institution is still in existance but now operates I think, as and Old folk geriatric unit.
