Hospital and call centre set to create 550 jobs

CORK is expected to be in line for a major jobs boost later this week with the announcement of the opening of a new private hospital.

The Sheehan Medical Group – which runs the Blackrock Clinic – is expected to announce up to 500 jobs will be created with the development of the hospital at Citygate, Mahon.

It is to be built on the site of recently constructed showrooms and offices.
