The present Bank of Ireland occupies the site of a hospital for maimed soldiers known as Careios Hospital. This was built after 1602 and appears on Speed's map of 1610 (De Courcy 1996, 10-21). It was described as a large 3 bay building in 1610 (Clarke 2000, 28). By 1615 it had a gatehouse, court and enclosing wall. The first parliament in Ireland was held in this building in 1661. The present building was erected on the site in 1729.
