€10m to help convert Presentation convent

Cork City Council has given permission for the development on the grounds of the old South Presentation convent and school in the city’s South Parish area, where Nano Nagle’s tomb is located.

She founded the order in 1775 and the project team hopes the Nano Nagle Place heritage centre can be completed in time for the 300th anniversary of her birth in 2018.
