The interior of the hospital has been used in many movies including "My Left Foot", due to its old-fashioned appearance. The wards are of the traditional long room format with individual dayrooms and bathroom facilities at the ends. Most of these are currently unused. The wards are connected to the main block by long corridors with round headed windows on each side.

The three storey block also has a ward for officers (above right) with four beds and a slightly higher level of luxury, with a fireplace and separate washing facilities. Next door is a room for a senior officer.
