AN Bord Pleanála is under fire for giving the green light for a private hospital next to Cork University Hospital (CUH) against the advice of one of its own inspectors.

A PRIVATE hospital on the grounds of Ireland’s largest publicly owned hospital campus is not sustainable, groups fighting the controversial project told a public hearing yesterday.

PLANS for one of the state’s biggest co-located hospitals suffered a setback last night.

CONTROVERSIAL plans to build a €250 million co-location hospital in Cork were approved last night.

THE co-location hospital plan for Cork is a “win-win situation” for patients and the State, said the man behind the project last night.
