Bishop to reveal plans for education and training campus

PLANS for a multi-million euro education and training campus at the site of the former Farranferris College in Cork are set to be unveiled today by the Bishop of Cork and Ross, Dr John Buckley.

The seminary building at Farranferris, which closed as a post-primary school in June 2006, is a listed structure.

The boys’ secondary school, which was known as St Finbarr’s College, included RTÉ’s Bill O’Herlihy and Cork county hurler John Gardiner among its alumni.
