Group to defend €250m CUH plan amid concern

THE consortium behind controversial plans for a €250 million co-location hospital in Cork will try to ease local concerns at a public meeting today.

The Beacon Medical Group (BMG) urged any residents with concerns about the project at Cork University Hospital (CUH) to attend the event at the Kingsley Hotel.

It is the first time BMG has engaged the public on the project, which is facing stiff opposition from residents living around CUH.
