FF four against private hospital at CUH

FOUR Fianna Fáil representatives have lodged objections against plans to build a private hospital on the campus of Cork University Hospital (CUH) under the Government’s controversial co-location policy.

Green Party Senator Dan Boyle and Councillor Chris O’Leary have also objected to the Beacon medical group’s proposal to build a 185-bedroom hospital on the CUH campus.

Cork City Council has received 144 submissions on Beacon’s planning application — all except one have explicitly opposed the plan.
