Proceeds from one of Cork City’s most lucrative land sales — the bequest of a farmer — have culminated in a €10m investment and pioneering education centre for the care of the elderly.

A CORK centre widely known for its exemplary care of the elderly is now offering an outreach programme for those who look after senior citizens in their own homes.

A €2 MILLION training centre for people involved in pastoral work and care of the elderly is to be built in Cork.
