Leas Cross set to fetch €10m in sale to British nursing home operator

A SALE has been agreed on the controversial Leas Cross nursing home, which was exposed last year as providing sub-standard care. It is believed the site sold for at least €10 million.

The north Dublin facility has been on the market for over 14 months since it was closed down. Its auctioneers yesterday confirmed the sale, adding that the property has a number of options for developments.

“A sale has been agreed, it took some time, but one has been agreed,” said Joe Morton with auctioneers Morton and Flanagan, based in Swords.
