€2m centre for training staff who care for elderly

A €2 MILLION training centre for people involved in pastoral work and care of the elderly is to be built in Cork.

Church of Ireland Bishop of Cork, Cloyne and Ross Paul Colton confirmed yesterday that the multi-disciplinary education centre will be built on the grounds of St Luke’s Home for the elderly in Mahon.

It will support the work at St Luke’s Home by providing in-house continuing professional development training for its staff and volunteers.
