Sale of idle landbank to pave way for healthcare centre

A publicly owned landbank which has lain idle for six years is finally set to be sold, paving the way for the development of a primary healthcare centre.

Cork’s City councillors will be asked next Monday night to approve the disposal by private treaty of the 2.83-acre site at Deanrock in Togher to Kieran Coughlan and his business partner Claire Riordan for €450,000.

The duo were involved in the development of the huge Blackrock Hall primary healthcare centre near the Eden development in Blackrock.
