A PRIVATE hospital is planned for Cork city’s western suburbs as part of a €500 million development.

The development, on the Bandon Road, will include a medical campus, a hospice and a centre for Enable Ireland/the Lavanagh Centre.

Outline planning permission for the project is to be sought within weeks on up to 60 acres of land at Garrandarragh, behind Dunnes Stores, and includes a park-and-ride facility and hundreds of houses.
